US source for S2 dash?

[Richard48Y]

My red S2 project is falling behind schedule.
I need to just spend the dollars for a new dash if possible.
Madera Concepts appear OMG expensive, anyone else that is still in business?
I can re-veneer if I must but don't feel like I really have the time.

I presume you’ve already tried Dave Bean and r.d. It looks like after them, it’s either do the restoration yourself or go to England. Sadly my favorite, Prestige Autowood, has closed down.

Got a couple of quotes, OUCH!
So being a cheapskate I will be doing them myself.
I already have most of the equipment, it is Time I never have enough of!
I will be doing one in Rosewood and the other in Birdseye Maple for myself.
There are a lot of impressive woods available and most are not all that expensive, currently.
Of course the best are not available in large enough sheets to be done as only one piece.
With practice I will get to the point that I may join two pieces to match the grain but that is not where I am now.

 I have an extra that I started , veneer on and most holes cut out . The holes not cut out I can trace somewhat . I may even have the lettering for the entire facia. PM me if interested.

  After taking it down I found it to be on 3 ply plywood. I was making a desktop version.

I am now looking for an overhead pin router.
Almost certainly what was used originally to make them.
Found a few really cheap, but getting them home from too far away is a problem.

Richard I sent you a PM about a different subject....

 Richard I'll post as many dimensions as possible that I can accurately give you.

I "Can" do wood work on the CNC mill but it is not considered best practice for machine life.
Most pin routers are old, HEAVY at around 800#-1,200#, 3 Ph., and very obsolete to almost anyone but an analog guy like me.
They typically end up as scrap once sellers figure out that no one local will take them unless paid to get them out of the way.
I can get one for only $200, and another $900 to go get it. 
At that point I may as well look for a used CNC router.
My hope is that something will turn up closer to home.
I found a nice big 36x60 CNC router but it also has a fairly big price.
Insult to injury, the local electrician is three weeks out from getting me my 3 Ph. power.

I used the old panel as a pattern and a flush trim router bit easy, fast, cheap and accurate. Leave out holes you don't want add new holes to old panel first
