Hi Dalton,.
I see your point and did consider this.
The dashboard originally was to be in a circuit car only and the minimum of gauges , switches etc were to be fitted. I then had a complete change of plan and decided circuits were limiting and an on the road car was decided. I could have thrown away the dash and gone all original but as you know 99% of the 40's you will see are replicas whether good or bad replicas.
The gauges in this dash were very expensive and not wishing to sell them off cheap decided to keep them. I can always change them later if need be.
Most people who see the finished product will not know the difference and I personally like the look. We all like to personalise our cars whether by design or colour and I like the cill layout.
' I may yet get some nice deep shag pile and some flock wallpaper on the bulkhead '
It's a personal choice but your comments are very welcome thats why we have a forum.
Cheers.
