Have't seen this posted anywhere. Looks like PG Classics finally has the 68 Dash Bezels reproduced. Just sent them a mail to get a set. We'll see!

They've had them for a little while. I think there's a thread about them somewhere. And yea, $400 is steep but that's about the same cost as a refurbish.

They`ve been out for almost 2 months now. I`m going to definately buy a complete set but won`t want to be the first to buy. Has anyone else stepped up to the plate yet? If so, how was the fit and finish? Any issues? I`m also probably going to pull the trigger on the taillight round bezels as soon as I haer a report on those. I did buy the pot metal tail chrome and they were perfect. I also bought the 4 speeeed console plate and that was perfect as well. I may be the first to have 40K in a 318 Charger...by the time I`m done building a bullitt clone...440, console shifted 18 spline 4 speed, 3:54 geared dana 60.

Haha yeah you got that right. You gotta imagine how much it costs for all of that tooling though.

Corellian Corvette

If you think about it - it's not that bad.

First - if you don't have a set there is no way you're going to buy one, and have it restored, for less.
Second - If you sell your originals (Like I'm going to do), you'll make some of it back which will bring the cost down.

I'm getting a set - we'll see how the look.

 looks nice, but can i please get a closeup before I drop that kind of cash?  I cannot really tell from the pics if it's painted silver or really rechromed.

That price doesn't seem bad to me compared to other things. But, are they availible with woodgrain?

Here are a couple of photos of the P & G products I saw at Moparfest in New Hamburg, ON this past summer.  P & G are the fellows from the East coast of Canada.  These items were not cheap but they sure were nice.   :yesnod:

FYI, here's some firsthand feedback on the 69 panels from JimShine from a different thread...for that kind of money, I'd want them to be PERFECT...

Not sure if it was a mistake, but I ordered AC and received the end bezels (non-AC) anyway.

They are beautiful. Better than original. But I would not say they are 100% accurate. The bebble grain, bezel sizes and pitch in the radio plate were slightly different. I will get pics of them installed. Lee1 has a set of these in it.

I know I would like to have a set of those if I just had the $400 to put down at the moment.
Hmmm...Any one want to buy a left testicle? Gently used, only scratched on Sundays $400 or best offer. :yesnod: :icon_smile_tongue:
