It took a while but I finally buttoned it up today with some hardware I picked up at E-town yesterday that replaced lost items. Thanks to Mike Mancini for the cluster and ash tray but everything else was done at home. Last edited by LimeliteAero; 08/27/12 10:21 AM.

I built a jig for my Challenger dash, and assembled it on the bench. That's the only way to go. Funny how we work smarter instead of harder as we get older.

I have a repop upper, but ralley dash lower (knee?) pads and glavebox door for a 69 seem to be made of unobtainum. Is anyone repoping these yet? jt Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...

Cheaper in the beginning when new, but typcially deal with time a lot better. But, to answer your question, as far as I know, no one is reproducing the lower pads...

PG Classics has them in their printed catalog. I took a quick look on their site and the B/E & A site but didn't see them , so you may need to contact one of them.
