Sorry, I meant to ask about the dash pad. I already have the guages finished by gcartrim, he did a great job.
Now I need a new dash pad, but not an overlay.
Thanks

Just Dashes is probably your best bet

There was a thread on here a while ago about Carolina dashes. They are around $650 on ebag, But had some complaints on the areas around the Cuda portion on the right side of the dash. Appeared to be crooked or something. I emailed them if they had fixed this problem with no response. So don't know if they were less expensive or worth taking a chance with. If anyone has feed back between them Just dashes and U/R I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I bought mine from Ultimate rides. Had a couple of issues but Merna is great and worked them out. Nice dash for a reasonable price. I looked at Just Dashes (and they look good) but they are also pretty proud of theirs - to the tune of an extra $300-350. Just heard about someone new out there but can't find out who. Perhaps someone else has?? Good luck!
I got a quote for my Dart dash pad (very simple) and about fell over dead. Did Unlimited do a good job?
Ultimate Rides sold me a dash for $550 I think (show special). Its an E-Body black dash. Not sure if they do Dart dashes. Only concerns I had was I physically inspected it before I bought. Then I noticed a spot on the dash that seemed sticky and I could fix even after I followed their instructions. Merna sent me another and it was fine. Some have told me of potential interference issues with the front of the dash being a little thick up front near the windshield. Can't confirm/deny this yet personally since not that far along with mine. Hopefully it won't be a problem. Hope that helps - Good luck!

Try Dash Specialists in Medford, Or. 541-776-0040. If you have a core they will rebuild the whole thing, and I think occasionally they have one of their rebuilds for sale. I have used them twice,once for my ebody dash. They are quite a bit cheaper than Just Dashes, and nicer to deal with also. Dean Taylor is the manager, a good guy. They get backed up like all of these places closer to show season so not sure how long their wait time is, but the work is good!
