    I have a 29 Ford Roadster I am going to hot rod. I put a 33-34 Ford truck dash in my 31 coupe which fit with little fabrication.
    What dash fits best in a 29 roadster besides the stock one? thanks Mike
     
  2. My favorites are from the upscale cars of the 20s and 30s. Essex, Chrysler, etc
    They are from traditional pre-war junkyard sources, look good and can easily be fitted to a Model A. The more typical round aftermarket guages can be easily fitted using a hole saw, but they don’t add nearly the character to the car.
