Posted August 15, 200222 yr comment_12974 Her's something I saw at kitcarz.com. At $295, it's cheaper than a dash rebuild. I wonder if anybody here has had any experience with it or has at least seen one up close. The small picture here does it little justice.http://www.kitcarz.com/dashboards.htmAny thoughts?

August 15, 200222 yr comment_12988 I was just at zfest.org out in Fremont, CA and I saw some vendors there that had a prototype of a Z dash in fiberglass. It was a duplicate shape of the Z, but without all the insulation of course. They were saying it would save about 34lbs of weight, and it was going to be in production soon for about $350. It looked pretty good for a prototype ( a bit rough ) but almost there.You may want to check with these guys if you are interested.I also know they are going to build a carbon fiber model for the ultimate in weight savings!!!PDK Fabricationhttp://www.pdkfabrication.bravepages.com760-724-0144pdkfabrication@cox.net Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2653-have-you-seeninstalled-the-simpson-dash/#findComment-12988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 15, 200222 yr Author comment_13053 The reason I'm interested in "The Simpson Dash" is because it is radically different than the original dash design. All the gauges are in a cluster at the steering wheel.

August 16, 200222 yr comment_13158 Will, the simpson dash is cool in the velarossa cars, but may be no longer available. My understanding is that the company that manufactures that kit is up for sale...I hope I am wrong...Our dash prototype was at the ZFEST, and it was definately rough. We will be a the surfside datsun show in October with our finished carbon fiber dash....Unique if you decide to upgrade your dash let me know.... thanks for the plug!!!Ron Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2653-have-you-seeninstalled-the-simpson-dash/#findComment-13158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
