Instrument panel
I am beginning a restoration of a 1935 18' Deluxe Utility and I believe this is the correct panel. I love the spinning tachometer. Does anyone restore them? Also I was wondering what the face of the panel should be. Rust was probably not an option! This was a low end boat so maybe just black paint?

Re: Instrument panel
If you're not in a hurry to get the gauges done talk to Mark Clawson of Clawson Classic Intruments ( http://markclawson.com ) he restores almost all gauges for anything from cars, boats, and even airplanes!! But he is a one man shop so it takes a long time for him to get them done to his quality level...

Re: Instrument panel
No such thing as a low end wooden boat.......... trust me...........
Re: Instrument panel
Mark Clawson restored my barrel tach (that is what you have) beautifully. I highly recommend but do give him about 1yr to get it back to you.

Re: Instrument panel
Hi Jim, sounds like you found someone. I have used mark in the past, excellent result, and I hear good things about Kocian, too.
there is a post here on pre-war dash and instrument panels under research related, i think. If you find a picture of what yours is supposed to look like, it would be great to capture it here and on that post. I wasnt aware that cc used those barrel type gauges, but it is always good to find something new out. Should look sharp when done.

Re: Instrument panel
thanks, Jim, a very cool simple early 30's instrument panel. I assume stewart-warner?

Re: Instrument panel
That was my boat, Kings Transom. Panel was done by Pat Powell who has passed on.

Re: Instrument panel
Pat powell did my original instrument work and clum switch many years ago. First rate. I am sorry to hear that he is no longer with us.
The instrument panel is super Did you find that the panel was used in any cars? a variation of my sw 4 gauge panel with the engine turned plate, that was in the later 30's runabout, was also used in the Willys car of the period, for example.

Re: Instrument panel
Yes, my instruments and the panel were in bad shape but he did an amazing job. I think he was a retired stewart warner guy, living in the midwest somewhere.
