Custom dash in a 31 Coupe?

[jonnycola]

So yet again, I have been doing way too much day dreaming and not enough hot rod building. I should probably get it running first but I'm still thinking.....



I decided to ditch the "bomb in your lap" gas tank in my coupe for a spun aluminum one in the back after seeing max wedge's "poop tank"


So now I'm gonna have all this room up in the front, and I've been thinking of what I could do dash wise....



A deuce dash would be cool for the era I'm going for (50 - 54).... but I want something a little more custom.


So does anyone have any cool pictures of custom dashes in a Model A?

Hi I met scottrod through an introduction from donnie of imperial customs from this site. Scott was kind enough to send me a a few pics if his 30 coupe. He used a later olds dash in his coupe. Thanks Scott and Donnie

I was thinking like a 49 ford... maybe a 53 belvidere (sp?) or maybe an early fifties cadillac.

anyone have any pictures of those, or a dash in progress?

rude dude,
no problem . glad you guys spoke....he is a really cool dude huh ?? anyway yeah his dash rules itsa 57 olds...... anything from those 50s cars looks cool in a rod.......especially when they wrap around like scotts olds dash.... alittle more work but sooooo worth it ..i think .....

I took 16 inches right outa the middle of a 50 dash for my 29 sedan and when I unloaded the A-bone, I saved the dash and welded it into my 33 ford pickup. Sorry about the photo. I lost the close-ups of the dash in a computer crash.

Geez Rocky ... pay your light bill will ya.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Holy CRAP!!! I love that wrap around dash. It's interesting to me that he also had to relocate the door latch and regulator.

That is so sweet.

so does anyone else have any pictures of any custom model A dashes?
