Looking for GPA Dashboard Details for 1/6 Scale Build

Post by Coyotte »

Dear forum members,

(Moderator: please feel free to move this topic if it is not in the right section.)

I hope you don’t mind this slightly unusual request on a forum dedicated to full-scale Ford GPA enthusiasts.

Since I don’t have the means nor the expertise to own and maintain a real GPA, I’ve chosen to build a 1/6 scale version using a 3D printer. Like the original, it will be both motorized and amphibious.
To get as close as possible to the real thing, I’ve purchased Bob’s book, which is a fantastic source of information.

What I’m still missing are details about the dashboard. I need to reproduce its components, especially decals for the various instruction plates as well as the different gauges and instruments.
Specifically, I’m looking for:

- The complete texts (or photos where they can be clearly read) of the different instruction plates.
(Alternatively, if there’s a GPA owner not too far from Liège (Belgium) who would allow me to take photos of their vehicle, that would be wonderful.)
- Any information about the fonts used on these plates, the gauges (speedometer, fuel, battery, etc.), and the painted serial numbers on the hull.

Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide, and I wish you many enjoyable outings with your vehicles.

Michel (aka Coyotte)
