That's pretty cool looking. Imagine that dash with a suede covered pod holding a full set of Stewart Warner gauges. Sweet.

Cool Got to have it!!

I want it !! Where can I get one with a glove box opening? When can I get one?

I recently paid ...are you ready for this.....$1000 for a "re-newed vinyl " dash and pod, and another $250 for a re-dye "blend" kit for blending the ajoining parts of my interior that didn't "quite match" the new dash, though I sent samples of my interior to color match. As you can see from the attached photos, it is a "slight bit" off and it doesn't fit worth a s***!!
It squeaks as I drive down the road, and the pod interferes with the dash to the point of needing to muscle the pod upward or downward. It is crap.

I called JustDashes to make my case and they in effect said Tough S*** and I should live with it. They said they make lots of dashes for American car owners who are happy with them. Then they hung up.

I need this dash. Put me on your list as a potential buyer.

Here is my "new" dash...ugh!!

I have seen Ron's new dash, and gosh, I would be pissed, too! What a lousy quality and poor fit. It's horrible!

Hey Ron!

Sorry to hear about your dash. If you want to re do your dash let me know.

the purpose of this dash for lou was racing. Also, glove box was eliminated due to mounting and clipping issue. However, there is a way to keep everything original style or shape as you can see above photo. Anyone interested??? Let me know. I'll be more than happy to assist you.

Is that a seam behind the dash pod? I'm surprised they didn't
use one continuous sheet. The place I buy my fiberglass from sells
it by the roll. They must have been trying to save you money using
remnants. Good they put the seam in an inconspicuous place.
