    I just bought door panels and a dash painted to match my truck.. all custom fiber glass...

    anyways the guy that made them, made them for his truck but he sold it so Im getting a good deal on them... but he said if I bring him more dashes and door panels he will make them the same, primed or for an extra 100 or so he will paint everything to match your truck... hes painted and does body work for cadillac (dunno how to spell that lol)

    anyways the work he does is top notch, and were thinking about doing this for people for a lot less then you could get it done elsewhere..

    I want to discuss the price with you guys on what you think is fair so I can talk to him about it.. but you will have to send your old dash back for a core so we can work on the next set without having to find a new dash... door panels as well...

    this is not just the dash itself and door panels.. this is every interior piece you could think of. even the pilar pieces around the windsheild.. all the floor peices fuse box glove box steering wheel cover all the way down to the hood release button.... its all included...

    he will start the work if you put down 100 bucks and will work at his own pace untill they are paid off.... Im looking for you guys to put input on the entire thing... turn around rate will be around a month but remember you are paying alot less for them and the quality will be top notch... I will take pics of mine when they are done.. they are getting lcd screens in the door as well as the dash... also theres a plexiglass insert in the door and will light up blue with my name or whatever I put in it... they will be done by the end of the month....

    if you figure the amount of time it takes, that don't seem too bad to me.

    Most "fiberglass" dashes are actually just sanded smooth... I would say the majority of "fiberglass" dashes have very little or no actual fiberglass.

    Smoothing out a entire dash good enough to paint is still a pain in the ass. If someone came into my shop and asked for a smoothed and painted interior I would quote $1000 + paint for just the dash.
