theguppies Posted January 26, 2018 Share #49 Posted January 26, 2018 @HSL, correct. I'm pushing for 280z dash as fast as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe newsom Posted January 26, 2018 Share #50 Posted January 26, 2018 That looks like a great deal. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 26, 2018 Share #51 Posted January 26, 2018 @theguppies Don't forget about us Canadian customers too! DHL Express Shipping is a great cross border carrier. UPS and FedEx are terrible for brokerage fees etc. I too am slowly convincing the wife that the new dash is a must for our half done restoration. I am on track to order the 280Z version before the end of this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe newsom Posted January 26, 2018 Share #53 Posted January 26, 2018 Haha I just tried convincing her that I needed one. It wasn’t a convincing outcome Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namerow Posted January 26, 2018 Share #54 Posted January 26, 2018 Just my luck that this new parts offering comes along after I'd finished restoring my 70 Z's dashcap. . I hope it all comes about. The Just Dashes route is just too pricey for many Z restorers (esp. those of us who live north of the US border). To help those of you who may be considering this new dash-restore option, here's a pixcture that another member posted several years ago of the bare frame ((sorry - I don't have a record of who the poster was, so can't give credit)... And here are a couple of close-ups of the texture of the OE vinyl covering. It's a version of what's known in the trade as 'haircell'. These are photos of the dash from my 70 Z (as confirmed by the surface crack that's visible in the first photo )... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 26, 2018 Share #55 Posted January 26, 2018 Great shot of the bare frame! I think I will strip mine to that and paint it pretty for posterity before adding the new dash. ...Look at me; already talking like I have one ordered!

JLPurcell Posted January 26, 2018 Share #56 Posted January 26, 2018 Are we still in pre-order or has a member installed this dash? I would love to get some photos and feedback. I have a couple of dashes in the attic with minor single crack and am considering installing one for a future needs spare. JLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted January 26, 2018 Share #57 Posted January 26, 2018 Just dashes is to far off arround the Gauges and they dont accept any imputs to improove the Product. Therefore way to expensive/no option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
