I know the pics dont show well but Im totally thrilled with how my dash turned out. 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.

Looks really good! I spy....an AM/FM radio Somebody spent a wad of money if it wasn't already there! 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.

Wow, that is really sweet! Where in the world did you find pads that nice? 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?

That's a '70 dash (notice the radio and lack of Flasher switch), hence the lower "pads" are molded plastic... 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...

hey Mark...Im not even gonna take a guess. its gonna be a few more months. I was really hoping to be doing the reassembly in the warmer weather but it is what it is. looks like itll be heaters instead of fans.

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.
