Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Anyone ever call a carpenter and have him build one?
A local, and handy, Fiat owner made his complete set and they looked great.

Re: Spider Point walnut dash equivalent??
I created the 2D models for the dash when I was cutting them from aluminum. I made the gauge panel and center panel one piece and the glove box separate. I made several versions. If you wanted I could modify to model to suit your gauge layout, only takes me a few minutes.
And just the straight copy... Notice my reflection in the polished copy. SAAAWEEET!!!
Let me know if you want the DXF for the models. I can connect the whole thing so it would be one piece and you could find someone with a wood router CNC that could cut the profile in a few minutes. **EDIT** By getting someone with a CNC to cut the profile it would be an exact fit to the inside of the dash pad opening.

Hi Matthew,
I would definitely like the DXF file for this dash! Thanks! i think I know a couple of friends who can get this done on a CNC router.
An update to the original post.
I found a homemade dash from a forum member in Oak. I decided to try and modify the dash and attempt a colour match with my Nardi steering wheel. Below are the results.
The layout is OK and I like the extra gauges. The idea of a nicer wood is appealing. Maybe next winter?!?!?

Re: Spider Point walnut dash equivalent??
PM me your email address and I will get it sent over. I have several variations, I will send them all. The files are pretty small since they are 2D.burgandy81 wrote:Hi Matthew,

If they cant get the models to work and want me to make the CNC programs for them I can create the Gcode for their tables. Just let me know.
