    I just ordered my second one. The first one is going in thr chopped tudor with a bead blast finish. The other one will be painted and is going in grandsons model A RPU. They are just awesome pieces. Great job Joel in the design and production of great dash panels.

    Well, if I were you... I'd build a '28-29 A tub with a hallock style windshield to put one of these panels in! Thank you, its been quite the learning experience!

    Thank you, Dale! Your support is very much appreciated. That sedan is bitchin'!

    Thank you to those who have supported me in this endeavor! I've been blessed and humbled by the response, and it has been fun to see them go into cars around the world. I've still got about a dozen AVIATOR panels left, most of which are polished and ready to go. I am still thinking of doing a limited run of pearloid inserts or paintable 18g plain steel inserts. If interested, please contact me via PM. IMG_20160715_025244.jpg

    THANK YOU again to all of you who have supported this effort.

    Well, a year and change later I've sold 65 of the limited production run of 100! I've got a few ready to go if anyone needs one.
    If you've put one in your car, post up a picture! Thanks again for all your support!

    These are BACK IN STOCK! If you missed out on the first run of 100, I've had the foundry cast up a few more...

    @Pinstriper40 you are quite the Artist in everything you do...That dash has a bit of a Thunderbird vibe way before it existed...

    How do we find out more about these ? I remember the original run, but never heard much about them.

    Very nice piece, would like to see more pics with owners final touches. I like the room on the bottom, do you think an ignition switch would fit?

    What would you like to know?
    Yes, they were designed bottom-heavy in order to provide space for indicator lights or ignition. I would put an ignition button on the dash instead of a switch with keys hanging down, just for aesthetic purposes.

    I found your website. I was mainly wondering if the machine turning was an option or if the owners were doing that.

    Yes, it's an option. It's an insert that goes between the gauges and the panel itself. I am going to do a few sets white pearloid inserts as well.
