Plasma cut 1940 Ford mini dashboard with sound

Post by Tmate »

Just cut this 18" long version of a 1940 Ford dashboard, and fitted it with a wireless Bluetooth speaker. When I put on the Beach Boys it feels like I'm back in my '40 again - almost!

Nice work Bill! Looks just like the ones in my coupe and sedan when I started with them.

I ended up building the sedan for a friend of mine. This is what the dash looks like now. He wanted more of a street rod look that a stock appearance.

Here is something similar I did back in 2017 for one of my nephews for Christmas. Done on Plasmacam DHC2 with Engraving Attachment.
