Hi Rockabilly John,
I not planning on offering this as a kit.
The side panels are very easy. Make an accurate perimeter tracing of each of your leather side panels on thick construction paper and accurately trace the hole positions. Carefully cut the perimeter out and send to FPM Metals in Nebraska. Instructions are on their website. Even then the holes were very slightly off requiring filing to match the holes in the dash. I put .5mm one sided adhesive rubber strips on the back of the panels ( adhesive side on SS panel ) so as not to scratch the painted dashboard underneath.
The central panel is a bit more complicated and required a lot of custom work involving three different companies for fabrication of: the engine turned SS panel, metal blanks for the custom gauge bezels and custom bracket for supporting the gauges, and finishing work for the gauges. Panel bolt holes can potentially be off little as well.
FPM Metals probably has my tracings stored in their computer since all this is precisely laser cut if you want to replicate this but I don't know how standardized our M3W are. Will my bolt hole positions line up with your dashboard? Don't know. The best thing is to use your panels to trace. I can also take good pictures of the construction of the central panel, bezels, and gauge supporting brackets and give dimensions of the gauge bezels and brackets so a local machine shop can replicate. So I would have FPM Metals make your panels and have a local machine shop help with the rest.
I'm willing to help as you need.
