Called Just Dashes this week and was a little shocked by the cost to restore my dash pad. Does any company do it cheaper?

What did they quote you ?
I've heard its pretty expensive.

What kind of pad/color?

I got mine from Ultimate Rides. Check with Nick (member here). He had a group buy going.

Just Dashes did mine about a year ago for $850 cash (cash is cheeper) it came out perfect

Bought an Ultimate Rides one through a MOPARTS Group buy that NICK put together. Much less than what Just Dashes wanted.

They quoted me $850 for a redo on a black pad for a cuda.

Thats right Nick that price was from Just Dashes. Your quote was much better. thank you.

Nick is THE MAN when it comes to getting you a dash!
He can get them super fast if you need that way!!!

mopar muscle magazine did a cuda dash restoration using a Dash Cap by accu form, I thought it was cost effective way of getting some very good results. If you have a show car then this might not be for you but for a nice driver this may be consider. You should check out the Mopar magazine article, it is online in there tech articles.

I bought 3 1971 b-body dash pads from nick. If the e-body pads are of the same quality, I say spend your cash with him and never look back.

Charged an extra $100 to dye it the wrong color and wouldnt give a refund. I needed it B7 they made it something between blue and green, no where near right.

I noticed the Paddock has repop dashes. any one have any experience with those?
thanks

Nick IS the man ! I got an e-body pad through him last year even though my car will prolly never get to that point the only issue I had was it took U.R. forever to credit me for the cores. (not Nick's fault)

Hey Nick, what's the latest on 66 B-body pads ? I need 2

So, now as I am not a rich man and like to maximize my money spent on my car and yet get the best quality I decided to go with Nick and my dash pad is sent off. I will let every one know how I like the quality when I get it back. Now, for those of you who also have considered the Paddock pads with the ABS core. I have a fiend who installed one in his T/A Challenger. The Paddock pad is a bit wavy on the edge nearest the windshield and does not fit very good to the lower dash on the passenger side, but the grain and color are very good.
hope this helps.

Just an FYI....if you are getting a 71-74 pad from Ultimate Rides, save the plastic frame that the Barracuda sticker goes in. If you're getting this type pad, and didn't save the little rectangular frame....get Nick to cut it out and mail it back to you. I bought an Ultimate Rides pad thru Dante a few years ago,and it's a VERY nice Ultimate Rides pad that I put in my 71 Challenger. It didn't come with the little plastic frame re-installed in the pad. Wasn't Dante's fault, and he was great to deal with. Fortunately, I went to the Mopar Nats that year and ran into the dude from Ultimate Rides,who was there buying up cores. He let me cut the little plastic frame out of an old pad for free. At that time, nobody was reproducing the little plastic frame that the Challenger/Barracuda sticker goes into. Just my Good luck.
