Default dash restoration

OK guys, since I received a load of help on the gauge restoration question , just wondering about my dash pad.

Has anyone ever used these guys http://www.dashboardrestorations.com/ or should I simply go with Just Dashes? The difference in price between the two places is considerable ($550 vs. $850), hence why I'm asking.

Or is there someplace else you might recommend?

Thanks in advance.

If you are talking dash clusters which is the instrument housing try Henry Esthelheimer 614-497-1005 Lockeborne Ohio

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm not sure why I didn't. I'm asking about dash PAD restoration.

Tom,
Not sure what your project car is...but be advised that Just Dashes will not do a '69 Camaro dash pad.

Hi LZ. Thanks. I actually knew that as I also have a '69 Camaro. This is for my '68 442.

Kinda odd they don't do them. Guess it's maybe due to the ill-fitting reproductions made.

Tom,

Used just dashes for my Scrambler. Work was very nice and they matched the charcoal color dead on. It took about 6 - 8 weeks though to get it back. All and all very satisfied.

Henry did my housing, and did a terrific job....shared a few beers with him a couple of times.

I haven't seen him in years, but heard he was ill. Is he better and back to his old self? Certainly hope so.
