    That looks familiar, I feel your pain! I see you have some Fenton accessory trim like I do too!

    I've got all kinds of dash panels stashed and tried a couple of different ones in a couple of my As but I never thought of this. Looks good! You got any updates?

  15. I saw it done in another HAMB:ers model A and thought it looked really cool. Here's some mock up pictures (duct tape is the BEST :D).

    1930's Olds in my AA. Grafted top of Model A dash rail to it. Amazed at how close they matched. Filled and redrilled gauge holes. Chose partially for the center medallion. Will now house dash light, ignition switch, headlight switch, and wiper switch.

    Looks like a 49-50 to me, but it's not upside down if it is.

    Has the '40 dash been overdone in the 28-31A coupes?
