Default Anyone have pics of CSX 3035's dash?

The Ohio Cobra Club is building a replica of Dick Smith's car for the 2011 London Cobra Show raffle car. Does anyone have pics of the dash with enough detail to see the gauge brand and layout?

Thanks,
Pete

Is the tach in the dash Stewart Warner? What about the pod-mounted tach?

Dick (RIP) was a terrific pilot, much of the design and function of his car brought aircraft thinking with it, hence the redundency of two tachometers. The one on the cowl appears to be an Autometer, the other a Stewart Warner. He even had a gauge that measured the pressure within the cooling system, the idea being to know if there was a head gasket issue or a leak in the system.

elmariachi - thanks for the pics!

The tach in the dash is a Stewart Warner Stage III. The only one I can find for sale is $2k! I think we can afford an autometer for the pod mounted one though.

CSX3035 is currently on display at the AACA Museum in Hershey PA., and will be there until the end of April.

It would be available for pictures and/or inspection if you needed it.

Here's another CSX 3035 dash shot taken over New Year's at a private museum in the Philadelphia area. Had an unrestored Daytona coupe and several variations of Ford GT's as well. Forget the name of the museum, but lots of other important cars, well worth visiting.
