Default custom dashes

I don't know if anyone sells custom dashes, I couldn't find anything but the stock ones, so I made this. Im not done with it yet. Is there anyplace that can make something custom without costing an arm and a leg?

Wow!You are doing a really nice job on your custom dash.Don't know if this helps,but I found some very small 12V lights at Radio Shack that I used for turn signal indicators when I built a custom dash for a Harley.Good luck with your project.

like you its so hard to find a good dash guy then try to do it RHD - 2 attempt .
All fiberglass straight over the old fascia then use hole drill .Little LEDs are a pain to wire up, wire is sooo small .
I am going to fill up top with more original switches to do different things in the car . 3 switches in all.
Next step is half covers over the top using coffee lid for size ( large and small ) but i will wait until stereo head unit in.
WATCH out when you put in the high beam indicator and turn signals that they are not too high and cannot be seen with the steering wheel. i made that error more glass another hole more paint.

From the looks of what you've already done, I wouldn't hire anybody to do it. Looks really good to me.

I downloaded these from I think the Ultimate GTO site. IIRC the guy had Just Dashes do this custom dash for him. Yeah, I know it's probably even more $ than their normal service, but I thought I pass it along. The guy chronicled his resto with about a zillion pics. He was swapping a 502 in a 68 or 69 goat, IIRC.

I sure would like to find the woodgrain decal without the radio hole cut out. I wanted to put my gauges there and have no need for the radio. Any idea where to find something like that?

BTW, I like your dash layout - looks nice.

Used the stock panel in my 68 race car and fit new gages in the stock holes:
