FIBERGLASS DUSTER DASH

Looked at a Duster that has the dash removed. Some of the flexible NSS require door panels and dash. Anyone making a dash for a Duster or fiberglass dash easily modified to fit?

Verrrry interesting topic ..... Out of all the dashes I made BY FAR the A Body dash was the most popular .... that mold is gone but I could be verrrry ezily convinced to start another one. I've got a "plug" that could be fixed and modified to work even bester than the original one that I made maybe 200 parts out of.

member B1Cuda did a run of some a couple years ago and I picked one up “just in case”. There’s a few members here that have installed them.

How much were they ?

Glastek makes one

Glasstek ? .... 480$ for a pin on hood. 190$ for a front bumper !! 230$ for a 68 hemi scoop ??!! !..., what the fugg ??!! ... Didn't find the dash ... What 300$ ?

Here we go again!

Doc complaining about the pricing of others, talking about stepping up and making them cheaper yet hasn't made anything in over 20 years!

SMH!

I've got a Glasstec dash for my Dart, I think it's very good quality, I don't remember the cost but I didn't feel that it was to bad. Not a lot of options out there.

Did a google search yesterday and found nothing on point. Today, VFN $279.00. This is why I don/t throw out catalogs.

Call Glasstech, not sure it shows up in the online catalog. Its very nice. Shipping was the problem with VFN, I think it was. Glasstech was more reasonable.

no NO Mr GY3 .... here YOU go again trying to stir the pot. You end this with "SMH" ... I had to look that up .... So Much Hate ?

... Take a chill pill ! Yeah I'm back and I promised not to get into food fights with people like you - that are famous at other places for pot stirring BIG TIME and turning sections of other forums into TRASH.

I will answer your observations in a civil way. ......... FIRST - how is any of this ANY of your business or concern uNless you are in the market for this dash?(I don't expect an answer) How is me mentioning prices of competitors COMPLAINING ? To be honest I am amazed at the typical fair market price these days on regular FRP parts. Making it cheaper ? Where do you get that ? I have not made parts for over 20 years ? You know this how ? ..... jsta take a chill pill and go over to TOBT. Your fav place ... with your what now ? 200,000 posts !!

SHIPPING this part ? If there is any kind of genuine customer service by these company's they can OR SHOULD spend 5 minutes and bend up a box to make this part go UPS or FedEx.

Unlimited makes them and has them in stock

This could be read as a complaint. I’m 50/50-ish in that myself, not that I see it as a bad thing, however, I also 50/50-ish agree. While a time long ago these were A LOT cheaper, it is what it is now. I don’t know what it takes in labor or dollars to make anything in fiberglass. But the person/company will charge there price and that’s kind of it. Take it or leave it. I never engaged with a company willing to argue/negotiate there pricing.

You can READ THAT any way you care to. And I said before ... Fair market value !! IN OTHER WORDS .. whatever the market will bear. You never dealt with a company that would never NEGOTIATE ? I did that all the time. With bulk purchases and past customers ...

NO debate here ... Whatever the market will bear. That's capitalism.

jsta thought of a PERFECT CASE of whatever the market will bear pricing that I dealt with back in June. Won't post it here but will over in the general section ...,

To ON TOPIC as far as I am concerned - this market is a little crowded for any attempt at making this IN the fair market .., so I'll just consider doing this as a "hobby" and make it for those select people that have contacted me now and previously.

Why in the world would you even consider setting up shop and producing ANYTHING?? Me thinks you just mind the orchard and tinker with yer own
projects with carrots & apples

What or how often I post elsewhere has NOTHING to do with this!

You have always come on HERE complaining about the quality and pricing of other fiberglass makers parts yet never stepping up with your own. It is your M.O.! I guess it is your way of trying to stay relevant?!

STEP UP OR SHUT UP!

Ur a hOoT .. Tow Hoe !!

Cause I kind of miss it on sCrEwY level .. You know those resin and gel coat fume-clouds in-da-morning !! But really - it's the satisfaction of building a part and making a product that yin can be proud of ! .... and to have a competitor(mentioned here by someone else)at a Michigan race leave the event early because they didn't like people comparing their product appearance and quality bracing to theirs.

You two want to get a room? Your B.S. don't belong here...That is all...

I know for sure if you got back into the glass game even on a limited basis would be an awesome product!! Let me know if you want some original parts to make molds,I'd be happy to help!

You got it t ... My bad. If I have to scratch that itch I know where I have to go !

To the Toe Hoe ... I might have to make that 63 dash .. Jsta furr u ! Do you have one of those cast left side extensions ?

Glasstek already makes a 63 B body dash. I have one for my 63 Dodge. Its listed as a 63-64 Dash but its for a 63. Nice 2 piece dash with the instrument pod.

It's actually a 62-3 dash ! ... and that pod is part of the dash or separate ? I should have tried making that pod part of the dash but it would have never been able to have been shipped by UPS. The box would have been too big.

How about one for my '74 Colt so I can run nostalgia pro stock?

Size wise ... how would that compare to an Arrow, omni or vega ?

Yes Doc,I do have the extension for the dash cluster.

Doc, I think it would be pretty close, but the Colt in rear narrow.

The Glasstek 63 b-body dash is 2 piece. The pod bolts on. I realize it's a 62-63 dash, just saying they list it in the catalog as 63-64. I had to go back and forth with them a bit for clarification. Sled City makes a 64 dash.

I don't see anything for the 63 plymouth,they show nothing that old.

Al there is one listed under 63 Dodge.

Yes, it's listed under Dodge. I can post a couple pics this evening if anyone wants to see it.

Are the Dodge & Plymouth dash identical?? You would think I knew this but the CRS is getting real bad!

Yes, the dash and instrument pod is the same. The instrument cluster is different. Canadian Dodges used the Plymouth cluster.

I thought all the early Dodge B body(1962 to 1964) all had the push buttons for the shifter on the bottom left side of the dashes next to the steering columns
Not like the Plymouth with them on the left side of the dash bezel next to the windshield posts with the buttons mounted upright
I've never own one of those year Dodges so please keep that in mind

Thought I was reading a thread about A-body dashes, but......

At least it wasn't me this time.

So if we get back to our previous discussion, I do not have facecrook, but it sounds like GT makes an A-body dash. I have an aluminum one brand new, but I am thinking of going FG, as it looks a lot nicer.

Anyone got install pics?

Glasstek makes a couple choices for a-bodies. One looks like a standard Dart-Duster dash and one like a rally dash.
