Classic Instruments

Classic Instruments dash panels and Inserts are designed for that show-stopping dash-board appearance! Furnished hardware allows most panels to be mounted into a stock opening using the same bolts or mounting studs that are already on the back of the original stock dash. It is usually not necessary to cut or change the original opening for the years specified.

These panels are CNC-machined and are from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Most inserts are available with a hand-grained finish anodized with a protective mat-finish.

Panel inserts are finished with either a plain surface (like the Oval-Style and the 1937 Chev. 3-hole panel) with some years being available with Ball-Machined Grooves such as the 1937-38 Chevrolet Five-Gauge Panel, the 1932 Ford two-gauge panel and the 1940 Ford two-gauge panels. The anodized inserts will resist fingerprints, minor scuffing and scratching.
