Francois Pelletier Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi guys, Probably not to everyone's tastes but... I wanted working instruments in my 1940 sedan. I already had a GPS speedo that project a digital speed indication on the inside of the windshield and even if it was installed as a wild guess experiment turned out very good. None of the other instruments worked... So I made a paper template and came up with this using mechanical oil pressure and temp gages. The radio is in the glovebox but on a hinge so can be opened up to gain acces of remaining space. It also has a back up camera feed. The speakers are in the middle of the dash and under the rear seat. I'm bracing for the comments... Frank. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Nice work. I;m a dirty neck hotrodder at heart so I like custom mods. I've been rolling around an idea to put my radio delete plate in the 51 on some sort of setup to allow it to slide down and out of the way and put a modern radio in there area behind it. As well as the USB connection for my Microsquirt EFI setup. I'm thinking some sort of radio with a display screen that can incorporate a back up camera, satellite radio and the such. Then again Microsquit can accommodate digital gauges on a tablet, thinking on a new gauge cluster doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laynrubber Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Looks real good. I like the idea of a hidden radio In that plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Mines not so much as hidden but I found a modern radio that had some chrome and silver highlights that blend a bit into the centre dash grille piece and as I had a spare one I gentley cut it enough so that the radio fitted , the rest of the dash is stock, albeit RHD........
