Don't buy this Dash Pad 71-74 B bobdy

[Banana Wama]

Just want to give everyone a heads up about the 71-74 B body dash pad that is being sold on ebay by Northcoast Muscle car, AKA Northcoast Mustang.  This pad is made by interiors inc in california.  I bought one from northcoast for $450 plus shiping last summer.  The shape was OK and the vinyl wrap looked great up until the first warm day in the sun.  All the vinyl let loose, the glue failed.  I called northcoast where they said I had to deal with The manufacturer Interiors Inc.  They took good care of me saying I must have got a bad one and sent a new one to me and a pick up ticket to send the other one back.  I put the new one in this spring and wouldn't you know it, it did the same thing, all the vinyl came loose. 
I called the manufacter again to which he told me that he is aware of the problem and he is not going to make them anymore.  He explained that due to california regulations he can't use the "GOOD" glue and was not suprised the the vinyl didn't hold.  He told me to go back to Northcoast for a refund.  I won't get into that whole expirience, but all I have to say is that Northcoast Muscle car has the worst customer service have I ever delt with.  I'm going on 3 months for this refund which they finally authorized and as of right now they have the dash, but I'm still waiting for a check, They're too busy right now.

I just put my plastic capped dash back in for now, I may try the pad from ultimate rides next spring, but what an expirience.  You all know those pads are NOT easy to change and I've done it like 4 times now.

Makes me just want to get a Dash cap. 

[Banana Wama]

Yup, still waiting for my refund.

Sorry to hear that. Seems like the only option is Just Dashes® and pay a fortune, but you get what you pay for I guess

good info to know. What about the dash caps from AZbob who sells on ebay. Anyone bought and used his? 

[Nacho-RT74]

YES, IN FACT THERE WAS A GROUP BUY

[oldrock]

was the group buy with azbob? If so, you happen to remember the group buy price? Maybe he would be willing to sell one at that price still if I mention this website.

[Nacho-RT74]

is on the respectivelly section, but that was looooong time ago. I think is AZNick. he sells on ebay too.

Azbob is another guy selling at ebay interior parts too. ( but not dashes, just caps )

Nick did a good job of dealing with me & the dash is really nice.

wow this is good to know,  anyone know what dante sells?   ive had a cap on my roadrunner for 12 years and it is starting to crack...

Nice thing about Nicks is that they use original cores to create the new ones.

They are located right in my hood, here in Mentor,Ohio.
They are rip off cons.
They ripped me on my 73' Rallye Stripe kit & all they did was have it shipped from Phoenix Graphics.
They suck.

Go dash caps.

Just how good are they, guys ?

Does anyone have a good resolution picture, preferably a blue one.

Thanks,

Mate, thanks heaps for that.

Am I right to think you had to paint it yourself ? There's quite a few that I've seen that are already bright blue. I'm just about to make an order with Legendary for interior blue panels and if they can fit one in and not increase postage too much, I may get one.

This is just the kind of info  that I wish people din't have to dig for. Great pictures and thanks again.
