custom first generation Z aluminum dashboard group buy
I have fabricated a few dashboards and am trying to see if anyone is interested. Here is the dashboard going into my Z. I just covered it with felt for now. The dash will come in a left and a right half.
I also made the dashboard that was in the HybridZ race car on the TV show PINKS!. (mock up in my 260Z)
The dashboard comes unfinished and needs finishing. I can cover the dash with fabric, leather, paint, powdercoat, or polish at extra cost. I can ship the dash with any of these done.
I can make a half dash or full dash.
I can weld on end caps like on the half dash.
I can weld the two halves together if you want a one piece dashboard.
Also coming soon is a console to go along with the dashboard. If you want something custom let me know and I can work with you on doing something different than the standard dash.
When I find the current price on aluminum I will put up a price since the price of aluminium is rising quickly.
the thickness of aluminum I use is .063 or 1/16".
I can use thinner aluminium for the ultimate in light weight.
Save about 30 pounds from your stock dashboard.
If you want something a little different let me know and I can work with you.
I will make a run of dashboards if I can get 6 people interested in some custom light-weight aluminium dashboards. It weighs less than 4 pounds for the street thickness version.

Well it fits in my early 260Z which is mostly a late 240Z and also the PINKS! Z was a 280Z and it fit that car pretty easily.
If I can get 10 people interested in a full dashboard then the price will be in the $200-$250 range. All depending on the cost of the aluminum and a few other factors.
That is sanded smooth but not polished.
Powdercoat in a textured black is $60 extra
I am going to make a nice dark oiled leather cover for my dash once I get this run of dashboards started.
I can also make a fabric cover in anything from lace to denim if you really want something different. Cost of that would depend on what fabric you wanted and how hard it would be to sew.

Hey, are these still being made? I took my stock dash out but it has warped so much that the damn thing wont fit. I would be really interested in this.
