Hi
I posted this on the Newbie page, but was told it would be better here. Any comments gratefully received
I have a 1930 Sports Roadster. The dash is just a solid slab of wood, with the correct instruments & knobs, but I think I have seen much fancier central panels on the dash, which contain the instruments etc.
Any comments, or is this the way it should be?

I have a RHD 1930 Sports Roadster ( body by Holden Motor Bodies ) . The dash is all metal and there is no centre dash piece it is all one piece right across .The gauges fit into the centre area of the metal panel . I think the 1929 Chevrolets had a separate metal dash panel section for the gauges .
I can send you Photo's if you send me your E-Mail address.

The 1930 instruments are attached to a mounting plate , and the mounting plate is fitted from behind the metal dash panel , and so is not seen from the front. I have sent pictures to Peter in the UK.

Hi Jack
Thanks for the pics, I am interested in buying. As I said earlier, I am probably going to use the car over summer & do the repainting in the winter, so there is time for sea freight. Please advise what and if you can sell me
Regards
Peter
