Looks really good John. How many hours???

Looks Great! When will you be able to start mine?

Looks good man! Now, what we all want to hear is that the motor is done.

 

[green67cuda]

Nice!! Man I wish mine looked that good.

That looks great! I have the same dash I'm installing in my Duster (because I can't find a Duster Rallye).

Im having a heck of a time finding the heater switches though. Twice I bought the unit and it was the wrong one. The Cuda Rallye Dash needs longer switches than the typical a-body set. Do you know where I might find one, or good search words for one?

I wasn't aware that there were different heater controls. Let me look in the garage tonight and see what I have. I'm pretty sure I have another set of Barracuda heater switches. Is this what you need?

Let me know....

 

[Bob_B]

Yes. On the back of the rallye dash, there's some sort of bracket that keeps the typical a-body controls from reaching the slots.

I've got a few things to trade, so PM me if you'd like. Thanks for looking.

I just threw a set out this morning. Long gone now. Sorry.

Wow! That came out very nice! I was reading your other thread to see what paint you used. What paint did you use first the black or chrome?

I shot the entire dash with PlastiCoat grey sandable primer. After smoothing out the rough spots I shot it with Krylon semi-flat black. I masked off the black and sprayed on the DupiColor Chrome. Tedious job masking everything, but not impossible. I had the dash at work and would spend a 1/2 hour here, a lunch hour there, and before I knew it, it was done. If you work non-stop it can be done within a week. The worst part was making the lower templates for the carbon fiber insert.

Thanks to all for the compliments! :thumrigh:

Very nice! :thumblef:
I need to do my darts dash.
I was thinking of some aluminum and polishing it up in the same layout as your c/f any tips?
