      George
        decided he would like to use a '40 dash.  Here's a pretty decent
        (other than some surface rust), one to start with.

        | 
      
      At
      this point we gave it a trial fit  - quite a bit too wide! 
       | 
    
    
        | 
      
      We
      decided to take the necessary amount out of the center of the dash. 
       | 
    
    
        | 
      
      At
      this point it's back together, and we've started taking off some of the
      upper lip.  Originally the upper ends of the dash start turning back
      up, but on a '32 the upper part of the dash is one big sweeping arch. 
       | 
    
    
        | 
      
      Here
      we've modified the ends to flow with the windshield, making the upper dash
      one subtle curve from end to end.  The ashtray holes are now filled
      also. 
       | 
    
    
        | 
      
      Now
      we need to fill the center opening in the dash.  A piece is made in
      the english wheel so it has both a right to left curve and curve top to
      bottom. 
       | 
    
    
        | 
      
      Here
      the piece has been TIG welded in, and sanded smooth.
       | 
    
    
        | 
      
      The
      finished dash, bolted in.  Several mounts were made to bolt it in,
      rather than weld it in.  This will make painting much easier (along
      with wiring, etc).
