I can text you some pictures if you like. I will need your phone number. Stock gauges can be used or a custom plate with custom gauges. No radio hole, none of the lower holes for light switches or windshield wiper. Drill your own if you have to have them. Glove box looks like it is there but isn't. It looks so good, that people don't know it has been changed to fiberglass. I also make the awb fenders and I make a backup delete plate for the tail lights for the 65 Coronet.

FMJ...When this topic originally arose a couple years back I looked into making one with an extra one I have here for a pattern...
I can do some of the stuff but ultimately the radius'd leading edge at the top also being in a curve upwards would be a deal breaker for me.

I have a local to me that would be willing to make a few dies on a CNC machine that could be used on a bead roller to replicate the pattern at the front of the dash where it bolts in.

Downside is none of that would be cheap but it would be doable...

A homemade one would definitely be made with more individual pieces than a stamped original.

There's nothing light about my car...not a whole lot of reason to spend the time and money there for me...
