Thanks, I took the woodgrain part to a sign shop and they put a new overlay on it, I had all the chrome redone and the speedo and clock rebuilt. Also I have NOS light switches in it as well as paint ect. It is alot of work but I like it, I know the woodgrain is not quite right but this is not a stock can anyway so I don't care about that part.

I think GT Hawk dashes are one of Studes best designs.....right up there with the 50 Commanders, the 55 Speedster, the art deco designs of the mid 30's. etc.Bez Auto Alchemy

Nice work on dash, it is super nice, it is a nice feeling to get into your car and see a very nice dash, the GT's are the best looking and fit so many cars, my 53 custom has one, I have about 20 fiber glass cores if any one is interested in building their own.Candbstudebakers

Hi. the last time I drove this car was 1971 and I don't remember the dash light dim. but they may have been. I think once the dash is apart and all the boxs that hold the lights are cleaned and painted inside and new bulbs are used and the lens removed and cleaned, that the lights would be better. But I am not sure.

Brighter dash lights are another thing we have gotten used to in the modern day cars. I replaced the gauges in my 76 Avanti along and find the lights are still dimmer than I'd like. I don't think the dash lights were that bright "back in the day".sigpic[SIGPIC]
