    Does anybody recognize this dash? My buddy bought it at the PIR swap meet for $5. The seller said "'32 Studebaker", but he wasn't totally sure. Scott bought it anyway and morphed it to fit his Model A Tudor but it would be neat to know what year and make it is.
    Edit: It was designed with a steeper top arch than it shows in the pics since my buddy Scott worked it to make it fit the Model A.

    No it's different. I just checked out that thread. The gauges in that car look bigger and aren't in an insert.

    Scott added some metal to the ends of the dash to mount it to brackets that he made and welded to the door jambs of the Ford, so they are not part of the original design. I should have taken pics of the dash before he started cutting and welding on it. But that gauge panel is original I ***ume, if it helps.

    Here's a '30 Chevy.

    Whatever it is, it looks right at home there.

    HAHA There it is! The ignition on the right and everything! Thanks!
    It sure does. I think it looks better than the '41 Ford dash he was gonna use.

    So now if anybody else is building a '30-'31 Model A there is another dash that looks good in it, if you can find one. LOL
