PG Classics UPDATE 4/29/11

[Silver R/T]

I've called Mike at BEA and he said they don't have dash pads right now as they have problem with vinyl delaminating from the core.
I'll see if Dante's has dash pad.

As far as I know, no one else is making the upper pad. Dante is just a reseller.

Well hopefully they can inspect it before they send it out so it's not damaged. And they speak English.
I've ordered $100's worth of parts from them before and have no complaints.

I got my dash pad from PG Classic and it looks great!  Also ordered a bunch of other parts.  Probably 5 or 6 orders in total over the past few months.  They've taken care of me everytime (although its hard to understand them).

[Silver R/T]

I guess it sucks for me. That's what differentiates a bad business from good business. A good business will take care of the customer EVERY TIME not every other time. They did offer me to place an order with them after I've showed them this thread and sent numerous emails. I'm hesitant to do so, I don't want to get burnt twice by the same company.

Agreed silver r/t. Ordering parts for these restos takes as much time as assembly! The last thing I need is someone jerking me around. Im having problems with both B/EA and PG. So far Roseville has stepped up and acted like they really want my business.

What trouble are you having with B/E&A? .....They are usually awesome with customer service.

That's a cap - definitely not the same thing!

Your correct, but I believe it looks almost as good as, better then the cracked one that was in.....but your right  not the same thing

No really, it doesn't look anything close to the real thing. Ok, maybe better than a cracked and rotted one but it doesn't look correct. I think I have one from a 68 laying in the garage somewhere. The reproductions aren't that expensive and make a world of difference - especially since you can see them through every window and they're right in your face while driving.

I don't think it looks really really bad, but I will try to fix the original one.
If that attempt fails, before putting the car together again.
I will consider a good used or new repro one.
Still enough time to try and deicide.

x2 on that one. I had a dash cap and it just sat there. Every time i looked at my cracked dash pad it made me think how I'm gonna have a cheap cap on there. I have to paint dash frame anyways as it has some surface rust/faded paint so I had to take pad off. Why not install a new dash pad at the same time. So I went and bought one....
I'm spending all this time and money restoring my car, I want it done right.

Between Ted Stevens at Stephens Performance, Legendary Interiors, Redline Guages, and a little help from Year One, we were able to get everything we needed for our dash and the entire interior... THANKS guys!

BE/A made good on my order. The quality is fine, its the attitude I could have lived without. I would recommend to everyone to order one or two items from different places and see who can deliver. Im not going to plop down 6 grand without knowing if Im going to have a hassle.

[C500]

BE/A ............ its the attitude I could have lived without.

Can you elaborate on this? After reading all the positive comments about Mike and how great his service is, I thought i must have been the only one getting the attitude. It seems not. I took my business elsewhere.

[Patronus]

From the minute he was on the phone I felt like I was back-pedaling. " Whoa...Hey man, Im sorry it showed up bent,"
I asked if this was common...??  Like I said, he surely made good on the replacement, hell, it was here in 4 days. But when I had him on the phone, he really made it sound like my problem. And then no communication... I just don't do business like that.

Taking advice over here, and going to buy a dashpad also 
Think of ordering the pg classics on ebay, seems like a good price.
do's or don'ts?

Sorry guys I think I misread some in between posts and mistyped a little.
I don't wanna 

Thought of ordering with pgclassics, the price seemed Ok.
It was a hard to find part, and I ordered the the second best thing, the dash cap.
Now I'm restoring the whole shebang and wanna buy a dash pad before putting the dash back in.

Sorry for asking again but where should I buy the pad, and what is a reasonable price for it?

Hope this post is clear................

I just want to hop in here with a reminder.......There are way more people that are happy Pgclassics customers . There are only a select few with issues. Ive bought lots of stuff from them and have always been treated "fairly" so lets maybe not boycott a place because of one bent dashpad.

[Belgium R/T -68]

You are so right Brian. My car is also an example of what nice products PG Classic
produce and delivers.

[PatrickPeeters]

Getting a little confused, but seems indeed that there are more successfull buys then bad ones.
I'm running out of options, if no sellers have a nice affordable dash pad, so guess I'm going to try if pg will work out....
thanks for the advice...

[DC_1]

I also agree, I've got several items from them without incident. Not saying they are not at fault in transactions others may have had, but, I don't think they are out to screw people over intentionally. Just my 2 cents.
