Dashboard
Larry
I scavenged CC for information and then made the dash to suit my car, will post pictures soon, but I reckon its quite original, and this is only my preference but I am using vinyl topping which is deck cover grain vinyl as used in 1960's classic cars like AC Cobra, E type Jaguar etc and the important point for my build it doesnt have padding or foam under it! Also with the topping I peel the fabric back off it so it is easier to manipulate and stretch when glueing to the dashboard.
I built a cobra in 1990 and the dash is still perfect after seeing a bit of sun etc with the tonneau cover topping vinyl. Computerworks etc have posted numerous good picts of different dashboards and the central gauges are quite close together, and there are some plans on dashboard posts which dimensions dont make sense.
