Yep, that's typical! Chevrolet usually only gives you half the story, and then they let you figure out the other half for yourself.

For your information the '31 dash depression is the horizontal depression above the instruments and not the depression around the instruments (It is called Instrument Panel - Carrier Section). If the car is in fact No. 66 then the entire dash will be black as will the body.

Only in Texas do they call it the "Instrument Panel Carrier Section". In the rest of the normal world the area around the gauges is called the "Instrument Panel Recess". But we do agree that the horizontal area at the top of the dash is called the "Instrument Panel Depression". Besides, no dude will know what you are talking about when you say "Instrument Panel Carrier Section" anyway. Gee!!! ha ha!

Whad-Ah- do- you mean, JunkYardDog? no one in the normal world, I thought C.C was making a nice clear discription of that durn Dashbord carrier thingy!

Well.......you are a Texan......so you probably understand what thingy CC is talking about. The rest of us don't talk "thingys", we talk do-dads and there's a big difference between the two! But, here in Oregon we have "dubaceries", and they are way more important than "thingys" or "do-dads"!

I wonder if that Amazon site would have a dictionary or a crossover word book from Texan to Normal ? I may see if they do, I usually use "do-hicky" but was useing "Thingy" for the benefit of those folks on the left coast, My mistake and I apologize!

Ha ha! No need to apologize because us dudes in Oregon definitely know what a "thingy" is........I think! Maybe I had better check. I will get back to you later once I find out!

Just a thought;

I think JunkYardDog told me that the cowl tag was put on after painting, if so, under the cowl tag should be a very good sample of your orginial factory paint.

Sorry guys, It was not Texan, Texican, Spanglish or any other of those languages. It was Chevroleteze. I took the name from the 1931 Chevrolet Engineering drawing of the paint scheme. I think thimamagig. dohicky, what-ya-callit, or the others proposed will do fine for me. "That place round the 'sturments would also work for me. Doesn't really matter what we call it as it was painted the same color as most of the rest of the dash.

Ya......but one dude in Oklahoma calls it "Them there holes in the board where them there gaugey things go!" Hey, it works for him!!

Hey Deduce Man.....are ya a "ghost" writer??
