roger1 - Wow, that looks great!

I was going a little more budget on my dash pads (79-81 F & 71-72 A), had Dash Pad Pros do one, and got a Dash Pad Pros 2nd for the other.

The A body one was on the puffy side, and the glove door area gaps are large and uneven. The corners were not as 'sharp' a form as I would have liked. I would say it was good for a driver, think it was $825 shipped. It was a 2nd, so it shipped immediately.

The 79-81 F one was a little puffy, and the gauge insert took persuasion. It was a little puffy in the radio opening too. I had no core to provide, they supplied, and was supposed to be a 'first' quality dash. Including core charge and shipping, it was $900. Was tempted to send it back, but turn-around was 10 mo. That was partially due to not being able to source a good core, but I still didn't want to have to wait another 10 mo.

You can occasionally find 2nds from them on eGay, and they run less than those prices if you catch them, but there is a slight risk it not working for you, because it's a 2nd, not sure they accept returns.

I wish I had done a JD for the 71-72 one, but oh well, I can live with it. I think when I inquired about doing my core, they quoted a 12-18mo turn-around, and that was out of the question for my timeframe.
