Hot Rods Best dash in a model A , show us yours

Just ran across it while looking through tech threads. Seems like it's a 40 merc dash.

I love that one too.

 

My new "Aristocrat" dash

 

Dude, is your steering wheel really that far from the dash? Crazy....

 

Whatever man....

 

It's not the best, but here's what I did. It's a '37 Harley Davidson "skull" guage panel turned upside down and molded to the dash. I haven't found a speedo to fit as of yet, but I haven't been looking too hard.

 

Update pisc on mine.

 

my dash in my 30'

 

Here is my 30 Roadster with a 36 dash and 52 ford truck gauges put in.

 

I saw it when the "Hounds Tooth" interior panels arrived the dash was deep and straight and all I could think about was that I want to buy that car back soooooo baaaaaaaad..... Mike took it over the top with fit and finish...!

 

...here's a 51-2 Chevy dash in a Model A, I believe it's a car owned by one of the Cheaters club members out of the Milwaukee area,...it's a beautiful car.

 

...here;s a pic of the car...

 

x2 But I think the picture has been reversed. Here is a quick fix!

 

Yeah it looks great in the photo but even better in person. I saw it at the Salina show. Also liked the little pickup that was parked right behind it.

 

wood is good.

That pickup is awesome and was done by the same shop!

I loved the "HUGHES FLYING BOAT" data plate!

As well as this 33's interior and I love the Stude gauge's...



Cory's RPU was virtually hand built from the cowl back...

 

58 Edsel + Pleats



Being built into the stock A dash

 

I am really diggin this Vern Tardel CHAMPION 5 gauge panel purchased from the legend himself !!

 

I like the way the bed slants with the slope of the stance. That's cool and different.

 

Way Cool....

 

Have a 1954 Pontiac dash cut down to fit w/ ash tray and narrowed glove box door. Hidden radio even plays thru dash speaker! All gauges and speedo hooked up and working. 1956 Chevy steering wheel w/ original horn ring.

 

Just curious, has anyone ever seen a '30-'31 A dash that uses the stock gas tank, but with a different gas gauge than the stock one. Maybe something with sort of a false front that would allow multiple gauges, sort of like the Aristocrat in post #94, but not as antique looking.

I have a Cessna wingtank float gauge like the one HAMBer Blackjack has played around with. I was thinking that might be interesting to mount in a '31 A tank.

Cool as eskimo balls..

I want one (the dash that is,sheeez )

 

Per the '54 Pontiac dash ,I do not know how to add pictures to post but can e-mail pics to someone if they want to see/post.

 

Yeah that is Cheater Dan's model A caddy powered coupe. The whole story of it might be coming to you guy's soon via your magazine racks ...but shhhhhh don't tell anybody.

The corners of said dash make perfect transition pieces for grafting a 40 ford dash into a 28-29 model A roadster

 

Full Auburn w/ fuel pump. You can see the difference in the arc of the dash rail and the A windshield
.

 

nice, i dig it

 

Always liked a 40 in a model A. they fit real nice.

 

Hey Guys

Here is my shot at it...hand fabbed the lower section..then turned up a panel with some SW's.
