I've had some more thoughts about what to use for the central instrument cluster and while trawling the 'net for decorative sheet metal came across a company that can print any digital image "into" ( not just onto the surface) of a sheet of aluminium 1.2mm thick.
The finishes come in a choice of matte or brushed aluminium gloss and are claimed to be scratch -resistant and of course moisture proof.(not yet sure about their resistance to UV but they are claimed to be of archival quality)
It seems to open up a variety of possibilities. My initial thoughts being:
1. Photograph the burl finish on the dash and reproduce that ( gloss finish ).
2. Do same with the blue leather and have a "metalicised" leather appearance. ( could be quite radical!!...could also use real leather of course).
3. How about this one.......multiple Morgan logos, perhaps reduced to simple line drawings, on either the matte or gloss finish.
I've contacted the company for some sample images on the various finishes so will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Neil
