Default 1931 Instrument Panel

It is time in my restoration to find a decent 31 instrument panel. I would like to find an original, refurbished instrument panel that has not lost a lot of its detail due to prep work. Is there a supplier that anyone has used and is happy with the end result? I would expect to furnish a core instrument panel and I do have one. Thank you for any suggestions. Ed

Find Don Turley to buy one or send yours to Craig Riker for plating

Bill has got it right. Dan Bixby might also have one restored or a good original. I am running a instrument panel of his.

There are two priginal ribbed style 1930-'31 instrument panels. One is made of steel and the other is made of brass. The brass one takes to nickle plating much better in my opinion because brass does not suffer from pitting.
