Hello everybody
I'm from Portugal and i'm re-building my fiat 600 d. i can't touch the motor because it's ilegal here in portugal but i wanted to change the car a little bit. I'll change tires, and hub caps, paint the wheels and i was thinking in change the dashboard, i just don't know how hard and expensive is to do that...
Here is the pictures or my small but loved car




As you can see the dashboard is really really simple.. and a bit ugly too.. i wanted a dashboard a bit like this:

Can you help me?
How can i make one or maybe order from some store and then install it. As i'm from portugal the dashboard has to be installed by me.
Thanks

Well, heres a bit diffrent dash that is av'l reproduction, and if gotten in steel, could be bolted in. '32 Ford Dash

you could make this yourself. This particular dash is from a customized ups van



Ya might find 1 of these on Ebay '40 Ford Deluxe dash


Just remember that any dash you buy will have to be sectioned to fit in your car. Sectioning is cutting out material and putting it back togther, essentially in this case, make it shorter. If you use the '32 dash, measure it, and measure you'r dash, then take the amount you have to cut, do not cut it from 1 side, if you want to keep the gauges in the middle, divide the # of inches needed to be removed by 2, cut that number from each side, then weld or fiberglass back togther, depending on what material the dash is made from.
