Art & Inspiration The Mother Of all Dash/Gauge Threads!!!

very nice

 

Thanks man!!

 

picked up a 50 Buick dash from a fellow HAMB bro, its goin in my 29 Dodge Bros coupe

 

elrod, very very cool dash. those gauges look sweet

 

here is my '30 sedan on a '32 frame with a '47 Merc dash I cut down 10" and restored Maring & Co. gauges

 

^^^^^^^^^^That thing is nuts^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks for sharing, love it!!!

 

Now that is a revolutionary concept. Almost as good as a Ford in a Ford - it took a high dollar public relations/advertising firm to come up with that one.

 

Work in progress, 1930 Chrysler Dash insert, just a patch and repair job...

 

That makes two of us. I didn't want to mess up that pristine Henry approved dash.

 

-51 Commer pick up.
Stock dash board, shrink foil, home made insert, SoCal gauges, LED´s from a TV set.

 

1939 {chopped and sectioned}Lasalle dash in a Model A

 

I like this Commer pick up dash!

 

Finally someone who used a '39 cad cluster!!! I held onto one for 3 years before letting it go. That looks great!

 

Thanks Man!!

Arrgh!...and I've been looking for one for a long time.

 

Thanks Elrod, and here's the poor tach who didn't fit inside...!

Here's the whole project: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=502851

 

My self made dash in my 27 roadster. Gary

 

What's the story on the knife/key thing? Did you make that up or was it some sort of old dealer gizmo? Either way, it's definitely cool, as is your whole dash.

 

The pocket knife key was a dealer promo or give away. That was your spare key, and I have not seen any others. I had my 54 olds ign switch redone to fit the knife when I found it. Gary

 

here's my dash in my 27 essex. does anyone have a clue who made the insert?
also what is the steering wheel off of?

 

Pretty slick! should be 'kinda' easy to make one??

 

My '32 Lincoln panel filled with original SW curved glass gauges that I bought from my late pal; Terry Seaholm. RIP Terry.

 

fastcar1953,

The gauges are certainly not traditional, but I love the housing they are in. Is that out of something, or did you make it? Really works well with the digital gauges.

 

Here are the pics of the dash in my 54 Chevy. I like it.

Yeah, Yeah, I know. You don't like the billet. I didn't install it and I ain't taking it out.

 

an idea i had at 420 today. yes or no ??? the clocks will be replaced with bullet clock deletes.

 

Absolutely YES!
I like the way the gear box cover(?) and the bezels have the same shape.

 

Always loved the dash and gauges that used to be in Terry Seaholm's '29.........now mine and we are re-doing the dash to emulate this one....as much as we can.

 

wow, that is killer!! What gauges are these? I love the big ones...
