Technical Auburn Dash Repo (not panel)

Hi,

Does anyone know if someone is reproducing the Auburn dash? The metal part, not the panel.

Thanks,

.... sadly, he no longer makes them. He's a HAMB'r too. We should have bought more.

@KKrod ..... line 3 .... it's for you.

Years ago I had my body shop make a steel Auburn style dash for my stock Auburn insert in a Henry 32 roadster. Nobody could tell the difference. I've since been lucky enough to score a complete Auburn dash and insert for my 32 3 window and my 32 roadster.

 

Thanks for the input. I have seen the real ones pop up here for sale from time to time. Guess I will just need to keep my eye open.

Thanks,

I saw a nice Auburn sedan steel dash sell for 500 without the insert at last years LARS

 

That is not too bad. Ones I ha e seen on the Ham have been around $1,000. Maybe one will come up on ePay.

There was somebody making an aluminum dashboard for the repro Auburn inserts a while ago, but I can't remember who or where. And for some reason I think it had a bead on the bottom edge, which is not what the real ones looked like.

They aren't really complex shapes. If you can find some off-breed early 30's dash with a deep upper roll, you could make the flat bottom half with just two easy brakes since the bottom edge is a V.
