Dash Customization

I want to do some customization with my dashboard and instrumentation on my 1976 F100. My plans are to create a billet aluminum or brushed aluminum instrument panel with circular, chrome trimmed, white faced quages. Does anyone know where I can find sheets of billet aluminum? I really have no idea what type of shop/store would stock this material.

Would any other forums be able to better answer this question?

Thanks

Try looking in the yellow pages under "steel" or "aluminum". There are several listings in my book that carry what your looking for. Sounds like a neat project.

You could probably find a shop to supply the plate as well as machining the shape and the holes for the guages if you look around hard enough.
