Hi folks,
I am looking to replace my dash pad as it is shot and has a dash cap on it. I see there are several manufactures available at a host of prices. I was looking for any information available on Just Dashes, Superior Dashes or any other brand that you may have info on. I would like the best fit, appearence and originally avaialble but not looking to put a $1000 saddle on a $50 horse either. I want to maintain the original metal dash frame instead of the fiberglass repos.
The car (1970 Challenger) is a very nice driver and has new repo interior.
Also looking for an early to mid year date coded 1969 440 engine. Prefer a complete good to excellent runner but will consider all....Washington State area or close by a plus, will also need an original correct 26 inch radiator.
Thank you in advance for anyhelp.

"WARNING: Do not get one of those dash pads that does not have the original steel frame. I made that mistake and after installing it, i found that some of the attaching points for the dash trim are non existent and there is no real support across the top at the instrument cluster and it warped a little and i could not stand to look at it. Took it out (and what job) and sent my original and had it redone. came out beautiful.

LOL cheap and best quality, those two dont go together when your working on any E-Body. Well what i can tell you is I can get a quality pad like original on the original steel frame, there is a refundable core once your core is returned, Must be reusable not rotted out as some are.

Thank you for the information. I tried to access this number but was told it was not valid. I found another Black pad for sale on e-Bay. Thanks again for the time and effort you afforded me.

Marc,

dash pad grain is really nice. It is available in red. I just ordered a 70 Cuda in red. Usually about 7-10 to get the colored. Made by ultimate rides. on the original steel frame, thats why there is a core charge.
