sheet metal dash construction

Im doing a complete rewire of the FC this year. The car is track based now, so I no longer need the stock dash, and would prefer to make things simple and create a sheetmetal dash. Anyone know of a place in the central pa, or eastern pa that would be able to fab one? I beleive I would be able to draw up and make peices out of cardboard, but the bending and cutting I dont have the necessary tools. Any info would be helpful!

Jegs.com sells universal AL dashboards that you can easily trim for your car. All you'll need is a sharpie and some tin snips or a dremel.

Speedmachine used to sell a fiberglass dash replacement, I don't want to say it's universal, but it is the right dimension and fits with trimming... Unfortunately their site is down right at this moment but I'm looking for it.

It was a universal dash, no longer in production.
