My dash panel might have been an early oval style speedometer cluster and was replaced at some time with the round dash cluster style.
I will modify the opening a little to allow the dash light to "peek" through.
Thanks again,

It looks like your car originally had the early 30 gas tank with the oval speedometer, and someone replaced the gas tank with a late 30 tank that uses a round speedometer. To make everything fit correctly would involve replacing the gas tank with the correct tank, and the speedometer and ignition switch and insterment cover.
