I used AutoInstruments but if I was to do another I'd send it to Instrument Specialties. Mine looked great but the ammeter didn't work.
As far as costs go, in my case ('70 Superbee Rallye dash);
- rebuildable core - $200.00 ebay (actually bought three, but...)
- AutoInstruments - $400.00
- tach, Charger Specialties - $425.00
- repop bezels, PG Classics - $465.00
- repop woodgrain overlays, PG Classics - $569.00
- misc. repop knobs, NOS switches and used switches - $200.00
Total: $2,259.00 PLUS shipping, taxes and duty.
....of course the ENTIRE dash was far more; NOS dashpad; Jules' steering column, heater box, vent box, wiper transmission; radio; speaker; M&H dash harness; repop steering wheel; die job; sandblasting and refinishing the dash frame; restored heater controls and cables....and I'm sure I'm missing a few things. Total between the steering wheel and the firewall? Well over $5,000.00...and people wonder why I laugh when someone says they're gonna have a resto done for $20k!
