Its dead easy - if your car has the later style extended top and bottom trim pieces framing the dash.,,because then the dash is a flat piece of whatever.

On early cars (say pre 70 in Oz?) the top and bottom dash rails have (different ) curves. So you need a flexible panel that can be forced into the required shape ..or a multipiece dash (3 pieces as done by Rokee wyay back when) that can be fitted to approximate the curves.... or fit the required top and bottom trim from a later car..  or moulded fibreglass to just cover the whole area ..

here's some stuff you guys can think about. Take a flat slab of plywood.  Get a can of expanding foam, and a cheese grater style file. (sur-form plane). get some pvc pipe that is the size of the smaller gauges. You can cut the pvc pipe on an angle and set your gauges in them. Thus angled towards the driver.  You can use the

expanding foam with wood blocks as support to make all kinds of curves and waves.

The custom dash you make can then be sprayed with 3M adhesive (contact cement) and you can stick a vinyl/ leather or any other skin to this super contoured creation.

I've been thinking about doing one for quite some time, but my cars need other stuff before a hot dash.

Have fun, take lots of pix and share them here.

yeesh... $1000 plus shipping? I built mine for $40... And I'm very happy with it. And I can build another one for $40 later using this one as a template. haha.

I also deleted the radio because I want 6 gauges to monitor the goins on in my engine. Plus a glove box, and made my own gauge cluster housing. Then I used thick laminate vinyl to cover it.

There's a guy in Oz who builds all wood dashes for $1000. I don't see him on Ebay at the momemnt. Do a search on ebay.au using "Morris Mini". 

the easiest way is to leave it alone.  Work in materials you are comfortable with. Wood (plywood) and vinyl is easy. Use cardboard to make a template before you hack up a piece of plywood. You can use one small piece of cardboard to get your fit where the dash will meet the A pillar.  use this template on one end of the plywood panel, and flip it over to mark out your cut for the other side.

I'm assuming you're after a full width dash.  Make some sketches of

what gauges, and cutouts you might want. ie: glovebox area?

Thinking of re-doing the dash in my car.and wondering just how hard it is?

Which is the easiest and best looking way to do it? wood cut out then cover with vinyl? or go making carbon fibre which i dont have experience with so don treally want to.

or any other ideas on ways to do it.have found steps on how to do it with wood and seems almost too easy
