Hot Rods The ultimate Hot Rod dash “the Auburn”.

Let us know when they are available. Looks great.

 

That's cool!

Glad to see this! I hope you sell a bunch of them. The hobby needs creators and producers.

 

Pat, I am interested in one as well. Looks great!

 

I'd be interested in one.

 

Awesome work! Yep, I'm interested.

 

Thanks everyone, whoever is interested please send me a PM of what gauge sizes you plan on using this way I can get an idea of what hole sizes to cut. I also will be releasing my 2-5/8 SW gauges and conversion kits around the same time to offer a complete historical accurate set up. Pictures below of converted new gauges.

 

I have an after market one that was cast in aluminum. I have it hanging on the wall cause I never felt it had the right look. I would be interested in your stamped steel ones when it becomes available.

 

Hey, Pat;
I really like those gauges. Will that be a "kit" for folks to convert their own gauges?
Love the dash insert, too. Everybody might have one, but it's still one of the best.
Marcus...

 

I had this Auburn panel in my old 28 roadster
Got the panel without the facia or gauges at the Puyallup swap meet for 3 dollars. Was definitely a lucky find

 

Marcus, yes the kit will be so if someone feels up to it they can adapt the face, the pointer, and bezel to a modern SW 2-5/8 gauge. They will be available complete also if someone feels they are not up to the job.
The one reason I haven’t started selling these yet is the gas gauges will need a new cup to convert, since the modern style cup is too short.

 

Wow incredible find!! Thanks for sharing!

 

Hey Pat, On the gauges, will there be a speedometer to match?
60 Special

 

Yes, working on this now. It will mimic the auburn speedometer.

 

Trim piece embossment sample done, for those excited about original style trim. I will have both pieces done within a day or two and should have a picture of it all together.

 

Heres another teaser. Disclaimer for the perfectionists, this is the first sample and there is a reveal line on the inner bead that is barely noticeable in this picture, the tooling was finessed to make the revel more pronounced exactly like original.

 

When you hooking HRA up with one for the Shit Box???

 

HRA will have one whether he likes it or not!

 

Without a doubt the ultimate hot rod dash...

 

Beautiful dash insert and awesome Die work. Great to see amazing craftsmanship.
I'm in for a dash or two

 

Nice Job Pat!

 

Jeez that sure looks like the real deal
Nice work

 

It definitely is, but I can't take credit for the machining or stamping of the auburn as much as I would like to since I don't have that big of a capability. I'm just responsible for the reverse engineering, project planning, and procurement of this piece. I appreciate your interest and will have one for you when ready!

 

That is just flat pretty, I was looking at a 32 that was listed for sale on the net the other day that had reasonably nice gauges in a ho hum dash that I thought would be a prime candidate for one of your dashes.

 

Another shot of how it was.

 

Another tasteful addition.

 

I'm going to start saving my money for December, put me down for a panel and the gauge coversion kit.

 

Beautiful Craftsmanship

 

Dude, how did i miss this post, Amazing work @Pat Pryor your killing it! id likely buy one from you.

heres the pic of the one i pulled of an old wrecker in wanatchee washington years ago and it went in my roadster i also got out of wenatchee.


im not sure what the dash itself was but it got quartered to make it work in my car, happy with how it turned out....

2-5/8 gauges and i believe the speedo was an essex but not sure....

 

Damn Jeff! you always find the good stuff! that looks like the bottom edge of an auburn dash panel, maybe it was one? hopefully not!
