Anyone make there own dashboard?

IM looking for some inspirations for the dashboard in my thirdgen, I was thinking using just the shell of a forth gen, but now I am considering making one out of aluminum. Im building a drag car on only plan on having only the essentials but i want it to look good at the same time.

I have never made one but Harwood makes a one piece full dash board that runs the entire width of the dash (door to door) If you could find one you could use it as a template. Just an idea.

U looking for aluminum, abs plastic, or fiberglass. Drag race style, look to any company that sells frame kits/interior steel pannel kits like Jegs, Chris Alston's Chassiworks, etc. They sell aluminum dashes that you can cut in your gages, and are the same used in drag cars. Some fiberglas companies make them as well, try this one: www.vfnfiberglass.com
