    Wow amazing work Alchemy. I know the work involved at some of these custom pieces. I wanted a certain style air cleaner that did not even exist, so I made my own too. I hope they sell well for you which I think is your goal. This was mine before I got done polishing it.

    How did this slip through the cracks?:confused: That is STUNNING! WOW! Even if you sold the rough castings, for guys to work themselves.( I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to do that much finish work again:)) Any desire to produce a small batch for sale? I don't have a duece, but there has got to be a market for these.

    Maybe we will get an answer to the are you gonna sell any question, maybe not. Seems to work that way around here.
     
  17. Nice! I missed it the first time around too! That is beautiful.

    I have already made a couple extra, and think they are spoken for right now. I don't want to be making a ton of these things to flood the market. I had originally thought I'd make a limited run of 32 ( :) ) of these things, if that many would even sell? If anybody else wants one send me a PM.

    Damn fine gauge panel. Are you going to run curved glass gauges?

    They do NOT fit a 32 truck dash. They are too tall. If a guy was to take a car dash and fit it to his truck they would be fine. Or add a car dash bottom to the truck top half?

    I made the master to fit a virgin original Henry Ford passenger car dash. Drill a few holes and cut small notches for gauge clearance.

    Good Job Jeff: I would be interested in being one of "the few" who get one of your excellent instrument panels. Please pm me the details.

    Here's a pic of an original in a '32 Ford Roadster just to give you an idea of size. This is a friend of Chris Davenport's roadster...................

    Really looks nice, I may have to attempt something like that as a one off gauge panel for my 26 RPU dash. I have built my own dash and being a T it is naturally smaller than your dash.

    I could probably come up with something that looks good, on a smaller scale of course.

    What is the overall height and length of your panel ?

    Thanks.
     
  27. great work...great looking dash
