FYI - 240Z Dashboards

[87mj]

The dash on one of my cars is in terrible shape.  The PO was classy enough to use dark colored drywall screws.  I suspect most other people would use steel colored screws or hex heads. 

Anyway, mine is in such bad shape, these dashes could suck and I would still be in better shape than I am now.   In as bad of shape as my dash is, I would rather it be busted up than install cap over it.

Oh boy, a new dash for my 77 280! I would love to have a new one. I had no choice but to install a full face dash cap. And I have tried twice to get the full face cap to fit right and it doesn't!! Still better than looking at my present dash. 

I spent 17 years in Vegas and that's what destroyed my dash. Or at least helped it along. It is so brittle that if I was to attempt removal of the dash cap my dash would disintegrate. 

The price is great. I would buy a new dash before re-doing my seats. That's how bad mine is.

I have not heard anything good about this company. No one seems to be able to get anything from them. Or a hold of them.

Dash caps look terrible in my opinion. As soon as I see one I am disappointed in the car and suspect of anything else that has been done to it. It’s just a half step in my opinion. New dash, restored dash or original dash. A cap just looks fake to me.
Sorry if I offend anyone that has one, but I just can’t get past the look....

DITTO. They fold up and separate as well. Really TACKY

No Offense taken here. I installed one ( was supposed to be temporary), because my dash is really bad and I didn't want to see it anymore. And at the time couldn't afford a new or restored dash. Thought $1800 was unrealistic. I think it would be more "tacky" driving it around without something hiding the ugly cracked up dash. Just MHO.

I'm still hopeful this guy is going to come through. Hopefully we will hear from them soon.

Fingers crossed

Guys give them some time it is a lot of work to rebuild these dashes. I looked into it many years a go. I could not get the math to work and all the parts to lineup. Headless to say almost every 240 to 280Z would love a remanufactured dash.

I noticed this was posted up yesterday (Jan 16, 2018) on facebook. Appears to be the Series 2 240Z dash. Free shipping for pre-orders placed in the next couple of weeks. No word on Series 1 240z or other Z dashes.

Hello everyone, 

I apologize for not visiting Classiczcars more often. I'm doing a promotion for Free shipping on all pre-orders before 2/4/2018. I'm producing Series 1 and Series 2 dashes for 240z and in process of making a mold for 260z/280z dash. 

My current sample is Series 2 but there will be a small adjustment for Series 1 dash.

@theguppies, is the 280z dash still on track for delivery mid this year? Not earlier?
