Anybody know where a guy can get a Fiberglass Dash for an A-Body? And I don't even have an A-Body.

I got one a while back from WS Fiberglass. Not the best quality, but who gives a flying ----.

It's light, fixable and it will look just fine when it's finished.

I have a brand new WS a-body dash in my shop I'm not going to use....PM me if you want it for reasonable $$ with no waiting. I decided to use my stock dash since it was already cut for the cage.

I had 1 of those piz-o-chit ws ones in my car trust me you are not losing out on anything.I only used part of it grafted to a original dash to make it decent.

Being from the Thermoforming manufacturing industry I can tell you that while it's possible, it's not likely due to all of the undercut areas that complicate the shape and couldn't be formed, you'd need to glue some features onto it similar to how the garbage E-body door panels were being vacuum formed by Accuform/Palco, etc. Not to mention that the cost of the mold itself and the labor involved in manufacturing the parts could get pretty expensive. You'd also need to do a lot of trimming and hole cutting as a secondary opperation.

Top...As you can see it needs a quick 'skim' at the parting line. The lighting exaggerates the imperfections. It turned out really nice IMO. I happy anyway.

Very nice! Can't wait to see it in the car. How much does it weigh as is before trimming?
