The bore undersize, and open up with a drum sander is what I did with this '32 dash. I did as Dave suggested, bored slow in the blank out of the car. With this one I did the "insert" piece then sunk it into the dash surface. It looks similar to an old SW panel shape but I had no pattern so just did what looked good to me. As an aside, after bonding it to the dash panel, I formed a 1/4" half round bead around the opening to give it a more interesting appearance. Then got some sheet stock engine turned panel and cut to shape to back the gauges.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
