Does anyone sell or make a dash frame rotisserie/holder? One that you could bolt the dash frame into and then assemble the dash prior to installation in the car? Thanks !

In my opinion - a waste of time and money unless you're going to do more than a couple. I used one of those body panel sawhorse things with the foam on the bars. Just rolled the dash over as necessary.

Make something yourself out of wood. They come in handy. I used mine for my Challenger and my Dart. Since both my projects were long term builds, the stand gives me a place to store the completed dash while I work on the rest of the car. When it's not being used for dash storage, I can hang parts off of it to paint. I don't remember how tall it is but I'd guess it's about 4'. The top of the dash is probably at 5'. It all depends on how tall you are and at what height you're comfortable working with. I originally designed it for my Challenger dash. All I had to do to get the Dart dash to fit was add two 2x4 blocks to shrink the inside measurement slightly.

My brother made this one - 2x4s, a couple of L-brackets, and set on a work table.

Mine was like this, only I put swivel casters on the bottom of it to move around the shop
