Restored Dash

The new dash is just unbelievable, but the old dash sure looks like it's in great shape too!

Great setup!

Both the price and the time-down would be a significant hurdle for me. I'm kicking myself just a bit as just a few years ago, I had a neighbor nearby who had a project car ('68 R/T clone) that he'd been working on for some time (he followed me home one day to look at my car) He had a completely rebuilt dash (much like the one shown here) that he had planned to install, but......his wife changed all that with baby number 1, followed quickly by baby number 2.  Before I even knew about it, he'd sold the dash dirt cheap (like $1,500) and then the rest of the car followed shortly thereafter. He was an airline pilot who already had very little time, and the two bambinos ended the car game for him, probably for good.

So for the estimated price stated in this thread what work was actually performed. I'm assuming the gage cluster was done but what else. The OP's pics show an entire dash. Was this whole unit delivered ready for installation. Just curious what was refurbished for the price.

        Just got my dash back from Instrument Specialties Inc.  I think they did a pretty good job!

Looks really great - money well spent!

       The entire dash was gone over and everything was either refurbished or replaced , right down to the cigarette lighter. The radio was upgraded from AM to AM/FM/MP3.  Dash is plug and play!  Hope this clears things up!

For the first generation owners, here is a picture from Instrument Specialties' website (unit is in transit) of the gauges and bezel only.  I didn't send them the full dash.

That is one thing I do miss about my 67, those gauges at night were pretty cool to look at.

Yep. there are a lot of really cool features on those cars.

One day one of those may end up in my garage and it will be that damn dash that sold it.

Instrument Specialties quoted me $5000.00-$5500.00 to restore my 68 R/T dash. They told me the price could vary depending on the condition of the dash once they look at it. Its a lot of money for a dash restoration, but they really look nice.

Hey Creston, did they also rework the pads??  Actually, yours look pretty good in the old pic.



The dash pads are repos or recovered, you can tell by lack of stitching.
