Dash Weight  ???? Empty Dash Weight ????

Post  whatbumper August 8th 2010, 7:39 pm

I have some dash weight questions. What is the weight of the Fox dash frame (metal)? What is the weight of the complete factory dash for the 4 eyed cars? the 87-93 cars? I never weighed mine while it was out. I have the factory gauges out, no radio, no air controls, no glove box, no vents, and no heater box. Any info would be great.

I'm trying to decide if I want to get a fiberglass dash or not AND my current dash is ugly and a pain to get out.

need a "factory appearing" dash. looking at the VFN 94-98 dash (3 lbs) for my car. we'll just dzus it in but that year dash allows me to have more room to mount my FAST dash.

I've got a Hairy Glass 94-98 Mustang dash in my T-bird. I like. Held in by 4 bolts.

David, that is exactly what I am thinking. I heard it was difficult sometimes getting stuff from Hairy Glass, is that true?

The only thing difficult is they don't take credit cards, 50% deposit up front and then the balance is COD upon delivery. My experience has been 3-5 weeks, depending upon what you order. Nice product though and well worth the wait.

Skinny Kids has a fiberglass unit, but it's not cheap, $325. http://www.skinnykidracecars.com/products/621/dash-must-87-93
