You can cut them and swap the inserts as well ,

Great thread! I have a 34 roadster that is currently "waiting its turn" and I have a 33 Roadster dash. I don't remember if it has the "swappable" panels or not (don't believe so). Even though I have a 34, I do like the 33 style dash.

Thanks for all the great info gang!

Ted we are going to need one of your new RHD 34 steering boxes, Can you do one ? Plus RHD stubs, Pedal box & pedals, not sure what else till we get started, Vehicle was RHD & was converted too LHD, so should be all bolt on ,

Early production 1934 Ford. Notice that the Dash Panel is a separate Panel and not moulded into the Dash like on later production 1934 Ford Dash.

Late model 1934 Ford Dash showing the section where the Instruments are mounted is moulded in the Dash and not loose like on 1933 and Early 1934 Ford Dashes.

Derek - They are amazing on here . I've got a ( very rough) sedan RHD early 34 dash but its a standard dash and I don't think sedan and roadster dashes are the same in any case. Regards Karl -PS Have you still got the Vicky ?

Sedan dash's have been modified to fit an open car if one has some fabricating skills. Since the flange that mounts to the cowl is pretty basic, its not that big of a project...I think. Elvis100 has a how to in his roadster thread at the hamb, I can link if interested.

That would be cool . . . as I have a 'spare' 34 dash . . . and a 34 roadster

Whizzernick ,a member here can to it.He did mine in 1972 and even woodgrained it.

Here's the roadster thread on the hamb. Its very long, sorry I can not point to the dash portion, but anyone who is building a roadster should study this mans metal and wood skills. I bought new cowl feet from him, look like Henry made them. He makes his own dies and makes amazing stuff with just a small press https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...oject.1092963/

Boy, Elvis is one metal working genius! All the tools he makes to form metal . . . using just a hydraulic press. Hid postings and associated methods/ideas are well worth the 19-page read.

I am glad you enjoyed the read. He has built two roadster bodies from tin most folks wouldn't recognize.

No connection to me but there is a RHD dash for sale or swap for a LHD equivalent on Instagram presently (see image)...
