    I saw pictures recently of a dash with airplane gauges. I can not find it now. Can someone help?

    Cl***ic instruments is selling some that LOOK like aircraft gauges. Otherwise, check Ryan's threads for his dash articles. There should be some in there.

    Back Seat Betty, the coupe built by Hot Rod Ch***is and Cycle I think also had an aviators dash.

    Steve Moal is now producing aircraft style gauges for cars.
     
  7. Just saw an ad for cl***ic instruments doing some...I am sure they will be pricey but they looked nice
     
  8. If your going to do aircraft gages try to use original aircraft ones, gut them and put in newer gage internals. The fake ones just look fake to me. But then again I'm a closet Aviation history nerd.

    I'm with the Doc. I have been hanging on to a B52H airbrake handle for a chute lever.
