New Reproduction 71-74 Dash Pads

[Charger1973]

Anyone used these yet?  Im curious how they look/fit.  Also wondering if they have a metal or plastic frame.  If its plastic, would it hold up to high temps without warping? 

Saw them listed a couple places, most recently at the Paddock...  Price looks good.

I got a dash cap for my 73 and it fits like a glove and made the dash look bran spanking new.  84 bucks from jimsautoparts.com.  Its the last thing I will ever buy from them because it took 10 phone calls, 8 weeks and tons of frustration dealing with them.  They cant get an order right to save their asses.

Man, post a pic of the dash cap. I have one and was going to buy a re-pop pad. I would rather save the $ towards other parts. What did you use to glue the cap on?

Thanks for the link on the dash cap.
How do you remove the dash pad? Looks like it is going to take hours?

I can't find the link for the dash pad removal? Help.

I think he is talking about actually dash pads, not covers.  From what I see you may have to call them and ask about them Matt.  Also from what I hear, dash caps suck and will eventually pull off anyway.   If these are actually dash pads, then I think that may be a good deal since restoring one will cost more.  Hopefully they are good quality....

Yes, it better be a dash pad for that price.   

But Just Dashes quoted me $650 on restoring one so this looks alot better than that, if they are decent.  I had a Dash cap before.  I didnt fit worth a shit and always came loose.

Do you need to pull the entire dash to install the pad?  I would like to find a cap for my application.

Just got my new dash pad, not cover, from Paddock. It passes for an original the core is made of fiberglass. $399

No, you don't need to remove the entire dash to replace the pad. I replaced the one in my 71 ten years ago. You need to remove the gauge cluster and duct work under the dash. I was a rookie back then and it took me all day.

Interesting.  How does it bolt on?
