A dashboard isn't so expensive that it makes sense to buy special equipment to make one or two dashboards.  OTOH, if you're planning to go into the dashboard production business then you'll need to be able to finish/varnish the dashboards to a professional standard, and I reckon that is the expensive part of the operation.  Cutting 'em out is easy by comparison.

I'm always surprised at how reasonable UK to USA shipping is from these suppliers and of course you don't have to pay VAT.

Joji, my 3 Ph. will be courtesy of a Phase Perfect 10 HP.
Paid $2,800 for it never used, from a Face Book ad.
The same unit is now $5,500 from the factory!
I have it mounted to the wall, getting my power from the meter is being the issue.

As a true glutton for punishment I am looking at getting a CNC Router now.
Pin Router would be fine and cheaper but I have no way to bring one home since I sold my flatbed truck.
If I succeed in getting the large router I will be able to make any dash I can produce geometry for.
But this HAS to be my last machine purchase!

I did that too for my first effort.
It is my practice piece that I need to complete.
I had a little trouble with the router and got a low spot in one edge.
It is the correct plywood but the finish is too light and I have to remove the factory varnish before I may laminate something nicer onto it.
If I can get or get access to a Pin Router aluminum master patterns are the hot ticket.
I have gathered up all my laminate supplies and readied the workbench.

I'll just weigh in to say you'll probably get a lot more giggles out of driving the Europa than the truck.  But it's your call, and have fun no matter what you decide!
