New 1303 Dash

Glassaction's newest addition. They happen to be about an hour from my house so I was thinking of maybe taking a trip down there. What do ya'll think?
Sorry the pictures are so big.

I think it looks awesome. LOTS of room for various guages and switches. I am almost CERTAIN these guys had a booth at the VW Classic.

***EDIT*** OMG I'm so embarrassed! I didn't even look to see how old this post was. Still, I like the dash. ***EDIT***

I wrote to the company that makes this dash a couple of days ago. Real nice guy who responded. I had seen their booth down at the VW Classic earlier this year. The dash is a two piece upper/lower design that is then bonded together. The price is down to $229 now.

According to their website, the dash comes with all of the stock openings already cut out for knobs, switches and ashtray.

looks like a great deal! .... I should have done this instead of widening the gauge pod and having mine re-covered. Upholstery alone was ~$500

Ah, but I bet your dash looks good. There's no cheap way to go with these old dashes, just variations in cost. The Glass Action dash isn't the nicest dash on the market, but its a reasonably priced way to get additional guages.

Custom made in my garage!

Cut the stock hooded cluster clean in half, and out of the dash, then re-welded farther apart.

Used spray foam from the Orange Box store, sanded/shaped then took to my upholstery shop.
