Bob, Thanks for the picture of the dash in-place because I have always been fascinated by the difference between the closed cars and the true roadsters in that the door-cowl-interior continues the exterior feeling which adds to the "open car" style (except in the rain!). Another interesting dash is the '46-'48 Ford and an old trick was to replace the usually broken clock on the right side with a very nice pinup picture and it looked like it was meant to be there just for photo display! Since answering this thread on behalf of modern dash clusters I have found a good list of available gauges in the Whitney catalog, although it looks like with a combo of Ford rear and GM TH350 trans I will have to buy into an electronic speedometer that can be adjusted easily if/when the rear ratio is changed. All other simple plain round instruments are available from Whitney or Advanced Auto. Still I will be interested if someone finds a modern dash that can be adapted since it will probably be a year or so until I am ready for instruments so let me know.

I bought the 76 in August , but haven't been able to work on it. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures.
