I don't have any jigs left. If anyone wants to make some, go for it. I suggest steel over aluminum so it will last longer.

Just a thought for Herman, I bet you could get $50+ more per dash if you offered it. It only takes about an hour to drill all the holes.


In the interest of helping the guys, I may just do that.

At which year did the strip(of no Holes) in the center start, as I would need to know which is which.

Will make a jig and get it done.

Watch this space

This wait is every bit as hard as Christmas eve for my kids. I thought my only option was going to be the empi cover, but they just look cheesy.

Quality takes time, I keep repeating to myself, but I sure wish Christmas would hurry up and get here!

OK, so have placed a spot booking on the machinery

Awaiting a slot and then the process will begin.

Should have them well before Xmas.

As this is a lengthy process, we should be done soon.

Darn, read it too fast, didn't see that these are the later dashes. I'll try to be patient, and wait for the wraparounds.

Herman... I'll take 2 wraparounds with speaker holes and the remaining 4 LHD ones all with split speaker grilles if you don't mind me taking a few weeks to scrape together the cash as I'm sure shipping will be a real gem on the parcel.

I think that now that you are making them with speaker holes you'll find demand actually increasing. They were a better substitute than the JC Whitney late dash piece of crap everyone sold before but now they are correct enough to make even a purist like me wonder why I should spend a grand or more for a nice original when these are now available. From what I see these look great, and I plan on running one in the '63 rather than installing my good original.

Great work! You are the MAN. Very Happy

Agreed. I can't decide which one to get, as my 65 Notch doesn't have the upper trim pieces for the wrap around to "blend" into. I'm also thinking about getting a replacement pad for my wife's 70 Fastback too. But at the moment funds are low, and the list of projects is getting big. Rolling Eyes
