I used the same 32 style dash as you but cut the Model A dash rail and welded it to the new dash. My ignition and light switch are mounted under the dash for a cleaner look.

 

my 36 Ford 3 window dash !

 

What did you use for the silver checkered back plate behind the gauges?

That's called embossed metal, it is a stamping. You can buy the metal that way if you look around a little bit. It was used on machinery quite a bit, like envelope folding machines, conveyors etc.
I have some in the garage now, stainless that came from an envelope stuffing and labeling machine.

Scroll this page, all kinds of ideas and a few places to buy.

Aircraft gauges, those are sweet. No flash, strictly biddness.

 

Always like the dash's that have a balanced lay out n that cool stainless back ground. Although I do like 5plus gages an all,but that was not something in my piggy bank back in the late 50's as a teen {1959}. So I kept it simple,water temp,oil psi,then added a tach after some saving. Many more years down the road,I had to redo the steering wheel an box too. But still drive my rod.

 

Where did you get the individual bezels for the gauges?

In a '34 pickup that I built a few years back. Dash from a Hudson Jet

 

Modified license plate frame + gauge set from So Cal Speed Shop with a stainless steel plate from an old Hotel elevator in my 32 roadster. You can also look at the thread "The Hot Rod Dash...Again..."

 

Same blank canvas here....... Look at the threads........ decisions,decisions..........

 

Here's mine 1930 Essex one year only..... I changed the gauges to modern ones, but original bezal and glass

 

Tell me about it, sky's the limit. What brand and what style?

 

Heres mine. Nothing fancy but I couldn't repair underneath so I used a FE valve cover
Cheers

Can someone please tell me why the picture of my dash was deleted?

 

@scrap metal 48 this glove box door get me to thinking. I want to make a radio delete plate for a current project and have a '54 Kansas tag, I am going to try it and see if I can make it work.
