Reproduction Steel Dash Plates

[Easton Rich 786]

I would like to know if there would be any interest in reproduction steel dash plates. I will make them if you guys show interest. These are the styles I could do, if you wanted a different style just comment what you want. Thanks.

 How about a steel version for the GT-14  The plastic ones don't seem to last. Maybe I could get @Vinylguy to make a decal for it?

Terry already makes them, has two types to choose from.

I’ll need to get a hold of one, but I’ll definitely see what I can do!

I can send you one for measurements

I've been thinking about one of these myself- to go behind the plastic one in my 701.

Don't send an old plastic plate for measurements, they shrink. The steel plate from a 953 / 1054 is the same size as a GT-14.

@953 nut Do you have any laying around for @Easton Rich to use?

I guess I could lend him one if he hasn't got one to go by, let me know.  I could use a new dash plate for my GT-14 anyway. @Easton Rich, PM your address if you need to borrow a 953 / 1054 plate as a reference piece.

[Easton Rich 786]

Yes I will take you up on that. PM sent

If you could make one for a 1257 I’d be interested too.

[Easton Rich 786]

@TonyToro Jr. I’ll see what I can do.

[Easton Rich 786]

The 1257 dash would be like the 2nd pictured, but with no square hole for lights correct?

What process do you have to make them? 

[Easton Rich 786]

I have a friend who owns a machine shop with a laser. Then Ill use his press for the bends to make them exact. I’ll have him make me 10 of each to see what the demand for them is. I know it’s not a super cool process but its efficient.

Terry’s decals look great

Any idea what the first plate (round hood) in your pic might cost?

[TonyToro Jr. 2,217]

Completely forgot to put the picture of the dash!

Here it is.

No worries!
