I believe your 2 choices are: just dashes or ultimate rides. I, personally would not do an ABS structure as I would want to be sure it fits and I have seen ABS frame dashes that fit poorly.
I like just dashes.
Either of the repels are going to be a bit different shape than OE due to manufacturing consistency.

The ones on eBay are Made in the USA on ABS or steel. However, I don't think the name of the company is JS or UR...?

I checked back in my records: the dashes on eBay are made by Premier Manufacturing Industry. Are they affiliated with JS or UR?

Premier Manufacturing (PMI) is Ultimate Rides. Parent and/or predecessor company or something like that.

They make a very nice reproduction of the '70 pads, though as with some other vendors, it's usually best to buy it through a distributor such as Dante's or Roseville Moparts. Or pick it up in person at one of the meets.

The steel core dashpads do use an original core, so fit does tend to be good.

I got mine from Ultimate rides (or whatever they are called these days). It is okay, the fit was okay, it had a couple of issues. Price was good ($500) and i picked it up at crlisle. I hear JD is better but you pay for it (closer to $1000). Depends on what you want.

Just Dashes makes a great repop for the Chally. Some say it looks "puffy" but I didn't find that to be the case. It went into a T/A I had a few yrs back. It was pricey tho. But worth it.

I've used UR and Carolina dashes for Cuda's I've had with varying degrees of success.

I installed a Just Dashes pad on my 70 Challenger, and an Ultimate Rides pad on my 73. The JD pad is definitely puffy around the vin tag area, and doubt you could use the VIN rivets that ECS sells, they are too short. The VIN rivets I purchased from the e-body section here on moparts are longer and worked fine. Other than puffy around the VIN tag, I'm satisfied with the JD pad. The UR pad is the wrong color, dark grey instead of black, and had numerous rounded folds in the vinyl around the opening of the rallye gauge opening. I would say that I was around 70% happy with UR, and around 90% happy with the JD pad. The JD pad also came back with a new speaker grill, and Challenger emblem, and 100% ready for install, meaning no extra vinyl needed to be cut. The UR pad need extra vinyl to be cut, aka dash pad circumcision, and you need to be extra careful with the knife. The JD pad was probably around 25% more money than the UR, but included the speaker cover, and dash emblem.

JD has a good product IMO, but their packaging is horrible, coupled with UPS helping them out (gorilla care plan) it resulted in 3 trips back to JD to redo/repair/fix. Made the entire experiance miserable. Finally managed to get it right and I'm good with the product.

If it were my company, the box would be UPS proof

Anybody know how to get ahold of Ultimate Rides? I have a core from a T/A dash I bought several years ago and have tried to call and email to try to send it back but I can't get a response. I still have the original box and invoice.

I bought mine to Carolina super dash, very nice, but I think they are closed now.
You can call Dante's mopar car parts or Roseville Moparts

Save yourself the headache, don't buy from Alan Foxx.(Ultimate Rides) Quality is ok but the worst service in the world!!!
