Hot Rods Model A dash, with the stock tank

Im Looking for some pictures of what you guys have done with the dashes in Model A's with the stock tank and cowl. Im not using it as a tank but I dont want to use that "32" style roadster dash. I really like the dash in the bare metal A that So-Cal built that was in the Rodders Journal. Some sort of insert or aluminum panel to match the pattern on the tank? Any others out there? Thanks.

 

I did this in my 'A'.

I cut the bottom from the tank,filled the centre of the dash then cut out most of the raised portion,leaving a lip to mount the stainless panel from the inside of the tank.

 

Im really diggin the engine turned panel.

 

I cut out the bottom and filled in the indentation behind the gauge panel with flat sheetmetal. I'll cut holes for gauges later. Here's the thread with lots more pictures:
