Post Pics of Custom Dashes

I've searched and can't find any threads on custom dashboards. I wanna build something clean and simple in my Kaiser. I'm not a fan of the busy, cluttered look you find in most 50's cars, with all sorts of different pieces making up the dash. Some things I'm thinking about are mesh inserts or aluminum with rivets. So lets see some CLEAN custom dashes to get the ideas rolling.

Soooooooo kool, makes you think right?

 

geeezzz, I had other things to do...now Ive gotta go through all these dashs on that site.....theres some REAL REAL nice 80s billet, all one colour, no chrome dashs there but there is some nice trad stuff ............... ...Bert

whodaky, way to go.......very nice indeed...

 

The bamboo dash that came in some Kaisers is the coolest, it'd be a shame to replace that with anything.

 

That has been in the back of my mind...I was originally planning on doing the bamboo dash and interior, but lately I've been into the idea of a kinda aircraft/lightweight race theme. Lots of aluminum, rivets, holes, etc. Maybe I need to go back and look at some stock Kaiser stuff again huh? Thanks for the comments.

Finished...

 

the stock kaiser dash is very clean, why not just keep it as is? maybe move the speedo to the middle or something?
