The Ford Barn - View Single Post - New build thread

Now we're to the point of looking forward and trying to figure out things like spare tire placement, windshield, gauges and other details. I happened to be surfing eBay one night and stumbled across this killer dash from a 1927 or 1928 Essex, and before I knew what happened I'd bid probably twice what it was worth, but you can see from the pictures that it's absolutely stunning. It dang sure wasn't in the budget but hey, you only live once... Right now we're thinking that having the gauges rebuilt and re-screened with the winged Ford logo will be just right for this project.

Stay tuned guys. This thing is starting to take shape!
