I am currently doing research and planning on getting replacement original dashes made for all of us who want original or hopefully better than original dashes. I am not interested in fiberglass dashes, but I know a few people are and some talked of doing them or are in the process, so you might want to check around the site a little on that. Good luck if you do pursue it.

i was making them but its a wash...mold was made but trying to lay up the dash was a big headache.... it would fold in on me, pull from the sides, (and that with some small ass rollers..by the time i finish one it would be priced way to much and not worth the time to make them...On my end...

When ctmandu was going to make them I quit doing my research on "vacuum forming" some dashes. It looked like it was doable. I don't have any of my research anymore. It would take a good dash to start with, making a female plug, then a male plug from that, to make your do your vacuum forming. It might take a inside form to make the back side of the dash too.

I think I had over 90% of it worked out. My equipment to do it was worked out for a reasonable cost.
I can start again.
