    Like to see pic of what you've done with your dash panel. My gas tank was taken out and filled the panel. Would like to keep gauges original but.............

    I am using my original tank and instruments. I am going to add an oil pressure gauge and water temp to the steering column. Engines an 8BA.

    Sort of sounds like you'd like to keep the stocker stuff but here are a few shots of mine anyway. The 31 body had the tank removed and a blank Brookeville 32 dash for an A installed when I bought it. I had to do some modifications to get the panel to fit but it wasn't major.

    Exactly what I wanted to see. Fuel tank removed with alternate dash. I see some advertised but wasn't sure on the look. Didn't know if they made a similar panel that would have the indent to accept the stock gauges Thank you

    Let me find my 1933 Oldsmobile dash and take a pic. That would be an alternative dash you won’t see much if at all.

    Trying to keep the look of a 30's car Maybe even using a gauge cluster out of another brand 30's car or truck ???

    do you have to gut the tank to use the 32 dash insert? I am still using the gas tank but want to install the gauges in the insert. I have converted the fuel gauge to electric.

    An idea I was messing with. Stock tank and 100% removable. Somewhere in my signature link there is more info on it.

    I'm pretty sure this is a '29 Buick dash.. Fits my '31 A nicely.. Totally surprised how the curvature and width match the A.. IMG_1887.jpg IMG_1888.jpg IMG_1887.jpg IMG_1888.jpg
