As I mentioned in a previous post I have been working on a 1929 dash that I was thinking about putting in my 30. Attached is a picture on the 29 and the one that is in the car now. Your thoughts?
-
Tough choice..What gauges would go into the 29 dash?
-
I don't think either choice is gonna hurt the car. The 30 dash when painted and maybe some pinstriping around the guages would look cool, but the 29 dash has the style built in. Toss up.
-
I would have to go with a tach/speedometer combo in the 29 dash.
-
I like the one with the wood grain,,,and 2 quad gauges would look good. Clean and simple but still has character. Then there is the placement of the radio/cd player and A/c controls and A/C vents. I like a clean dash and usually hide or relocate these items off of the dash.. they would fit in an overhead console.. just my opinion....
-
I like the one in it now. Plane and simple but that's me, bare bones, just enough to make it legal and then remove three things. ::)
-
I will give the 3 gauge classic instruments the thumbs up here.
The easy to get to radio is a bonus

I prefer the three gauge set up, the radio is a nice option also,
-
I could go either way. Have you thought of putting some wood behind the 3 gauges? Maybe ask Moose to photoshop it.

Here's a better look...

Now that one looks great with those guages mounted.

After installing the gauges it looks better, but in my opinion there's not enough of the surface area dash being used like it's to plain. I know some like to keep it clean and simple

Munch,
What sound deadener did you use on your floor?
Tom
-
Moose you are awesome, great look.
Tom, I used peel and stick. It is a roofing material that I got at Lowes and it does a great job. Definitely takes the tin sound out. There has been a lot of write-ups about this. It is cheaper than Dynomat.

I used the same peel & seal on my 38 and it's been in there four years now. Cars been in the hot sun and there's no asphalt smell at all. I will be using it my 32 it's a cheap alternative to the name brands.
-
That's what I thought. I'll be using it in my car too.
-
Munch, I like the 3 gauge set-up best.
Tom, I used the Peel and Stick from Lowe's too. Seems to do the trick and very cheap.

Believe your talking about is roofing "ice and water shield" as the material, as sound deadener.

Yes, I believe they are the same thing.
