The Ford Barn

In my last post I discovered the proper terminology for the top of the firewall in my 28 Roadster is called a "dash". For the past 65 plus years of my life a "dash" was the interior part of a car that was under the windshield and ran from the driver's side to the passenger side below the windshield. If I were to advertise the sheet metal that contains the instrument panel and glove box door for my 40 Ford I would say "I have a dash for sale. If I wanted to sell the the top of the firewall in my 28 roadster, would I say " I have a dash for sale"??? . Please inform me on how the terminology works. Perhaps I can win a bar bet sometime down the line.
