I had a stainless steel dash made. 10 ga material, so it's pretty beefy. There are pix in my gallery. Maybe you can tell me how to insert a pic within the email itself - it's not obvious to me.
Anyway, I laid out the dash very accurately and made a heavy paper template. The metal shop then scanned the template, cleaned up the profile on the computer, and pressed the button for the plasma cutter to cut the shape. Then they lightly sanded thr dash horizontally. It's awesome!
I only had to take the sharp edges off. I mounted the dash, outlined the access holes in the fiberglass dash, etc. I used ss hex socket button heads for fasteners. Since the Shell Valley dash has some curve to it, I had to use standoffs between the dash and the fiberglass.
I debated having the opening cut for the glove box but I wanted easy access to the fuse block. I still have to figure out how to hinge the glove box door which isn't made yet. I don't want to go with wood.
I have a second ss dash identical to this one if you are interested. My gauges are AutoMeter.
