so to fit this GRP or CF 911 style dash, you have to cut out the original steel dash in its entirety?
Is the dash not kinda structural in beetles? I would have thought that some kind of rigidity would be lost by cutting it all away below the windscreen and above yer knees...

Am I wrong??

Well, looking at your signature i noticed you stated you have a 72 1303... i dont think they make such a thing. the 1303 started in 1973 with the curved windows.
Do you have a flat window or a curved one? if its a flat window super you have a "1302" a curved window is a "1303"

You dont have to do any cuting of the stock dash. stanadard or not.

You'r sure that you are talking about an 1303.. they don't got a steel dash!! You just kick out that really boring "safety" dash and put in the new one!!
