Not any repro that I've seen on mine, on here or at shows.
The stitching in them has more waves than Hawaii................  :eek4:

Mind you, the factory dash pads weren't works of art either.  :-\

Yes they do wave on the repops but I still have a factory one and I don't see any waves in it's stiching. The repops also seem to have a lighter thread on them.

Neil, You'll have to see a nice one installed in person at Carlisle or Columbus, then ask the owner which one they ended up with. Where else can you find a bigger gathering of '70s?   I've seen some wavy stiching on Just Dashes' repops but it could have been a very early one.

You're quite right Rob, I just double checked my old photos of Lucy and her dash was as straight as an arrow.
I was thinking more along the lines of the tacky plastic, console and other interior pieces.......

Hey Lunch, I just read up on that.  Can I ask what you had to give for it?

Thanks.  I think mines got a cap on it.   :banghead:  Looks like it'll be awhile till I get a new one.   :walkaway:
