Seems Glasstek has picked up the ball and is now making A body dashes for those of you who didn't make the call when Chris was having some made. Looks like a nice piece from the picts on FB.

These look great. I am going to buy one for my street machine '67 Cuda. Screw the cracked up, rally dash and obliterated dash pad!

I think I will need to get myself one of those!

Anyone know how much weight they save?

We never weighed it but if it weighs more than 5lbs I'd be surprised.

Has to weigh anywhere between 3-5 Lbs.
The one offered by the 68' Cuda gent on this board is also a nice looking piece. Competition is a good thing. I guess it will narrow down to cost and quality.

Glasstek said 3-4 pounds on Facebook. Not sure on a stock dash.

Chris (B1cuda) pretty much had said that he was out of the dash business. The whole deal arose when he wanted one for his 69 Dart and nobody made them.

Stock dash should be a tad under what an early B-body dash weighs. Stock A-dash should weigh anywhere from 13-17 lbs. B-body dash weighs 17 Lbs.
I chemically milled mine and brought it down to 10 Lbs.
