    The panel light you’re looking for is called a “post light.” There’s lots of different ones available, especially if you look at aircraft part suppliers. I just put some in a very similar engine turned dash and they turned out great. You can buy LED or incandescent as well.

    Lots of really cool looking brackets and braces again! You put the “fab” in fabrication man. Lovin’ the “collapsible chest” steering column. Sorry, couldn’t help “ribbing” you a bit. It would be impossible to let that Rod go after it’s finished but I guess that’s the true sign of you giving it your all. Always consistently good production quality from you to boot. Thanks for entertaining me so well in my old age young feller.

    Pretty solid steering set up Jordan, looks good. There's not much room in the A's for long legs and thick seats is there, hopefully a comfortable compromise can be found. Cheers Greg

    Or make your own dash light from brass and some polly carb sheet as a difuser. Sand blasted to give pearl glow and low wattage bulb like an upside down half scollop shell.
    With your mettal fab skills this should be a piece of cake Jordan.

    Only new to the channel like the idea of the floating steering column as for the light I’d have a look to see if you can find a old navigator light out of an old air craft some of those weren’t to large or real bright looking forward to seeing more love old hot rod stuff👌👍

    First off, my bad I didn’t get my plug wires from noble speed shop. But will for my Buick engines! I got mine off a fellow who was selling cloth type wires. Your hair cutter man would only get half the price off of me cuz if he did the sides that would be it. More nice strong fab work reminds me of steering set ups in stock car racing. All the best. ( I went in the pub the other day to get you some photos of Marilyn Monroe. And I met an old friend I haven’t seen for twenty years. Funny how fate works. ) cheer take care. Tim.

    Reference the dash lighting, On my '32 Ford dash I used '58 DKW license plate lights mounted flush under the dash overhang. Your dash does not look like it has as much overhang as the '32 so don't know if you have room to do this?
