custom dashboards

can we see some transplanted dashes or some dashes made from scratch..

 

Here's mine that we made from scratch

 

Here's my '37 Chevy with a 51 Olds cluster. I still need to add polished accent strips in the vent areas once I decide how I want them.

 

my work in progress

 

This is not custom dashboards but its a lot of cool dashboards.
Restoration stuff.

I shortened and reshaped a 1936 Chevy truck dash to fit and used a GMC military gauges insert for my 1930 Durant
Before

 

Man, that spedo is freaking awesome!

 

52 Buick dash in my 40 Chevy. I had to section it down in about 10 pieces to get the gauges to be centered over the column and spaced evenly. The center grill is from the 40 chevy dash.

 

Looks like a old Harley-Davidson motorcycle cop speedometer. HRP

 

Wow, that looks a lot like a 51 Kaiser cluster!

 

This is the dash we customized for our '53 Chevy:

I like all of the dashes shown so far. Does anyone have any pictures of a custom dash for a 61 Coupe DeVille? I would love to change mine.

 

This is the 49-50 Ford Dash I picked up to use in my OT Sled project.



It had to be narrowed about 9 inches to fit.



Took out about an inch or so to the left of the large main gage bezel in order to get the gage centered on the steering column. Also took out about 4" on either side of the speaker grill to get the width right and save the grill and the clock location.

This is what it replaced...



and here it is installed...

 

Heres the dash I made for my 27. I used the model T top rail and formed the bottom half to curve around my Champion gauge panel.

 

I've showed this before. But it is a 51 buick dash narrowed 12 inches. Using all the stock guages, glove box, and buick door trim molded to the dodge door trim. Mounted in a 38 dodge pickup cab, or what's left of one,,,John

 

That is bad***, holy cow.
Nice job

This is the dash in my '29.I filled the stock dash then cut the centre out.Then I 'turned' some stainless on a drill press and installed it from the the rear of the dash.I've since re-done the insert with the outer gauges a little lower.

 

handmade, all steel and bolts in...late-model, but work is work I suppose

 

Here's mine...

and my 50 ford dash all chopped up!!

What type 3 are you working on? It looks interesting.

This is my dash. I started with a "*****in" dash then modified it to fit cleaner. The top, bottom and center are separate so it is very adjustable.
I purchased Cl***ic "Vintage" gauges, cream faces with red pointers. The gauges are 3.5" in diameter. The headlight and wiper controls are clunky and they will be changed soon to be hidden. I have a "start ****on" on the dash from a 1950's airplane. The Clock on the right side of the dash is my own creation. When purchasing the gauge pack, I ordered an addition cluster that was empty. I scanned the existing background in on the computer and made my own clock face. Placed a continuous sweep quartz movement behind and it's done. The Chevrotlet script on the dash is from a 1958 Impala glove box. When installing the A/C, I sheet formed a panel that bolted it to the bottom of the dash. This houses the A/C controls, vents and Stereo. The lower dash also helps to conceal the condenser under the dash. Lower left drilled aluminum handles open the hood and trunk.
