Dash Panels and Inserts

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.

Classic was the only choice when we decided to produce our own gauge design series. Their intense commitment to quality and innovative designs keep them ahead of everyone else.

- Boyd Coddington

Having seen almost every instrument out there, I would recommend that anyone wanting gauges to complement their own car check Classic Instruments. I chose Classic to give my own street rod the right finishing touch.

- Tom Gale

Instruments are as important to us as any other part of the car and we only use the best quality products available! Classic fits our requirements every time. And, the choice of design options is a bonus for us and our customers.

- Barry Lobeck

No matter what design direction we take on a car, I insist on using Classic Instruments. The hand made retro-fit `40 Ford gauge panel they built for the Poteet `32 five window is the perfect complement to our vision for the car.

From our 200 MPH Vintage Air Studebaker to the over 200,000 miles we have put on our old `39 Ford Sedan, the Classic Instruments have stood the test of relentless use and some serious speed.

- Jack Chisenhall

Classic has always been the trend setter for street rod and custom car instruments. We have been a Classic dealer since the `70s and know their passion for style, quality and innovation is equal to our own.

- Ken "Posie" Fenical

Classic did an amazing job retrofitting the instrument cluster for our `50 Woodie project. We chose Classic because of their reputation for quality, accuracy and reliability.

- Rick Love

Classic Instruments offers me the flexibility and creative avenue to add that complimenting custom touch in quality instrumentation to our complex rods and customs. Their products and services are second to none.
