Low windshield dash pad
Not for the purist!
I stumbled across this and considering how unavailable dash pads are for low windshield cars, I thought I would share this video. If this was shared already, disregard. Not show quality, not for a true restoration, but for a driver, this isn't terrible:

Re: Low windshield dash pad
You can email Raymond Lim for a quote.
ergodoc.raylim @ yahoo.com
He asked me not to share my price publicly, but I can say it makes Just Dashes look like criminals.

Re: Low windshield dash pad
I didn’t know JD did low windshield ones, what do they charge? I know the high windshield ones are $$$, but it’s a completely different dash.Nded wrote: Sat Sep 09, 2023 11:13 pm You can email Raymond Lim for a quote.

Why not publicly? He’s selling a product, does he charge different people different prices?
I remember when no one wanted the 1500s......

Re: Low windshield dash pad
I would advise you to ask Raymond directly, email above, if you really want to understand his motivation. I am just happy that a low dash pad is no longer made of unobtainium.

Re: Low windshield dash pad
Back in the early 21st Century JD was charging $400 for low windshield dashes and $550 for high dashes.datsun1500 wrote: Sun Sep 10, 2023 1:24 pm

The latest reports have high windshields from JD anywhere from $2000 to $4000.

Re: Low windshield dash pad
You are comparing a high windshield dash price to a low windshield one they don’t offer, and calling them criminals because it’s higher? That’s some odd logic. That’s like saying you bought a Timex watch for $40 and it proves Rolex are criminals.Nded wrote: Mon Sep 11, 2023 7:31 amBack in the early 21st Century JD was charging $400 for low windshield dashes and $550 for high dashes.datsun1500 wrote: Sun Sep 10, 2023 1:24 pm

Re: Low windshield dash pad
Updated information! Ray has told me his low dash pad production is on hold. Good news though, Dean has announced an $880 low dash pad production run due in February 2024. Go here to put you name on the waiting list:
