Very nice Jeff, I've always preferred the 5 window coupe to the 3 window. Have been gathering parts over a number of years to start doing a 30 Model A roadster pickup but now my son, who is about to turn 18, has claimed ownership (ha, yeah, right!!!!), but he wants to do it as a coupe instead. I already had a rebuilt roller cam 302 Ford to go in it, but since getting my 57 I've fallen in love with Y-Blocks again and would like to go that way, though convincing him of that is a bit of a task. At the end of the day, it will be a cool little (?) father and son project that he will probably end up with so I'll try not to force my preferences on it too much.

Just noticed the 40 dash.....

[Jeff Norwell]

Were using a 41 Bill, I found out the hard way why no one ever uses a 41 dash,specially with cowl steering and Ansen Pedals.
I think I was a Sado-masochist in a previous life.

Building a Solid 292 or 312 in a Hotrod(NOT streetrod) would be mighty mighty fine.

...have two '41 dashes.  It takes a lot of looking to find missing pieces.

Your so right Gary?I found a Fenton chrome Acc. strip that replaces the plastic factory strip?.. don't have one of those eh?

[gasman826]

I have been waiting for inspiration to strike.  I was thinking along the lines of a machining project to make that panel.

[Jeff Norwell]

Here is a better shot of the installed dash.The 41 looks like it was made to fit.Not so.
Spent the Saturday with my pal Neil(Candy's Hot Rod Supply) at his shop.Front window assembly installed(ugh!)Rear deck lid installed and other small items.
Neil is a great fabricator and forward thinker.All the work was performed by him.I was the Shop Monkey.

Thanks Jim!

While out with the gang for lunch today one of the guys brought his coupe and had a typical fabricated dash with modern gauges and I thought YUCK. Yours is unique

Jeff
    Your 32 is looking great.  You put a lot of work in that body to make it look so nice. Believe me I know what it takes to make it look like that.   I especially like the dash installation.  It looks just so natural in your car.  I always liked the 41 dash.  That strange  Ardun looking engine is quite impressive also.  Keep up the good work. I hope that you get your new car out early this summer.
     Looks like I'm going to have to hook up "all the carburetors"  on my 34 flathead   if I'm going to try to beat you in a race. HAHAHA Jay

[Jeff Norwell]

Ha ha ha! I think your 312 will kick my butt Jay.
