I have a 1931 Roadster and I am looking for an restored or super nice original dash pannel and a pannel light.
The plater over polished my original and lost some of the detail... I somehow lost my original dash light...

Thanks

I am still looking...my Model A roadster is an early 1930 without the indented firewall. so I think there is a difference in the detail of the pannel...it does have a round speedometer/
 
I am really thrilled....while digging in my garage I found the base of my old dash light...I remember it was shorting out (maybe 25 years ago so I took it off...what had happened was the bottom tangs broke off and instead of spending time fixing it properly I replaced it with a reproduction .....now I want to change that stuff back...I bought a shielded wire and our hardware store has the small insulator and spring...the new tabs will be replaced with tiny screws...soldered in..I am not real great at tiny tab welding...maybe if I had a tig welder....
But there is no hope for my dash pannel...when I had my chrome pannel plated in 1964 the plater polised the detail too much....not sure how it should be replated but I know there must be someone out there that can do it witout ruining it....or better yet find one that does not need replating.
