Engine turned Instrument Panel

Thought I'd post a pic of the inst. panel. It was beat up and had some surface rust. Always like the engine turned panels on '32 Fords so this guy in Ohio turned it for me. Had my original gauges redone. Didn't want to go with new aftermarket gauges. Anyway here's a pic.

That looks good in there.

 

Sweet !!!!!!!!

 

oooow so nice.... I like your color choices

 

Thought it might be overdone but I think it "turned" out ok. Thanks for the comments.

I usually like the Chevy dash over the GMC, but.....WOW that is beautiful. Now I will have to rethink my preference.

 

WOW! That's way cool! I did one on an aluminum insert for our '32 dash. Used drill press with a craytex stick, WD40 and lots of patience! Really lots'a fun...

 

I think the '55 and '56 GMCs are about my favorite trucks ever! The dash looks great too. I've done tons engine turning over the years, every thing from 1/2 cratex sticks on stainless for dash panels to a 8' X 36' monument sign for the entrance to Phoenix International Raceway with 6" swirls on aluminum.

 

Very very nice.....

 

Very nice.

 

NOT overdone. Looks great.

 

Way cool, as is the whole truck. My fave from that era. Congrats on a sweet ride. ~sololobo~

 

Looks great, I love the look of engine turned panels.

 

I love engine turning! That looks great in there...It really sets off that interior!

 

Nice work. Looks great. The art of damascening.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

That looks great! I love the GMC dash and prefer it over the Chevy.

 

It's very good looking, congrats man

 

Cool! I have a childhood memory of a guy with a 56 GMC with a 400 Pontiac/4-speed in it doing smokey donuts in front of the cop shop in my hometown of Morrison Il. home of Arnie the Farmer Beswick.I have loved those old GMCs ever since!
