What are we doing in todays world with getting quality Dash Pads for a 1970 Challenger. I heard ABC may have backorders. Just Dashes long time. Anyone with good luck with others.
Thanks Bob

Everybody is backordered right now due to a shortage of foam. I currently have one on order with Dash Pad Pros, and they said 8-10 weeks.. :dunno:

Terrific. ::) Seems like everything is in short supply or back ordered. *Sigh.

Ordered mine through Year One last month and they were 6 - 8 weeks. So that will be my winter project.  :ohyeah:

@anlauto Does Dash Pad Pros only do the ABS core dashes, and only 71 & up for ebodies?

I have a core that I'd be willing to sell, but assume that doesn't really help any with backlog (since it needs restored). It is a '70, 3-speaker, A/C dash. Located in Houston and guessing that shipping would be a lot so possibly not worth it. Anyway, if anyone is interested let me know.

I've been on a waiting list for a year with ABC Moparts. Same issue. Foam.

Not that I'm aware of, I've never bought an ABS core pad before...

The moparshop will have them in mid September.

I'm curious, is the ABS core an improvement, and why? Or is it just cheaper. I'm not positive what an ABS core is, LOL, does that mean not metal?

Plastic core.  I've never heard anything positive about them.

Abs is junk don't do it . They warp and have no integrity to install the panel light bar wait for the steel core one.

Interesting, I didn't see a steel core option for an Ebody on their website.   :notsure:

...because they're currently out of stock due to a foam shortage. :alan2cents:
