first off
if i made a repop dash i would do it with style and elegance.
second, i think they do a decent job but why go to all the trouble of making it appear right and then leave out the special details.
where's the pride fellas?
i am so upset with this, that someday soon if i have the money im going to make a repop and what ever it is, it will be a mold taken from SEVERAL factory items and it will be as perfect or better than the originals. if compared to an original my description would be, "you practically cant tell them apart" even at a second glance or 4-5 guys putting their heads together at the same time to look at it! ! ! !

i know i could do better than they do, for crying out loud, i am a detail kinda guy, but to leave out the re-inforcements of the dash to even LEAVE OUT the rest of the studs that an original has is simply PATHETIC,

i mean come on people. this is a useless piece of material, leave out the metal re-inforcements and leave out most of the plastic bosses to bolt it down with??? i wouldnt have bought one, but mine had almost every plastic boss broken off, i didnt do it but the kid before me did, why i dont know, but its just not worth saving the old one, it cant even be mounted right, not without buying stock in JB weld! ! ! i will save it, but to anyone its a no brainer to use it.

good grief, how hard can it be to make a mold and do it right, most of the time it costs a little more but the price of a dash that acts,looks and fits like the original would be worth alot more, i see factory dashes go for up to 1500 bucks on ebay.
so why couldnt you do it right and ask oh lets say 450 for a dash, that looks like,acts like and fits right? if i had a repop and one that looked like the original right next to each other and the repop was 300 and the better one was 450, its a no brainer ???

if i designed a repop i would have them beating down my door, just because it looked like the original and bolted in like one. there is no quality control no research, mark my words, if i ever do decide to make a repop, i will make a prototype, test it , research it and let a few people try it, id sell it to them for 450 bucks, if they give me the correct feedback and tell me what they did or didnt like i would change it, id make it better and so on, then after there remarks on my prototype, id give them a full return or a 150 bucks off to match the price of the lesser quality ones out there.

most of the products today are made and pumped out, who cares how well it works, its because we buy them and take it that thats all we can get?
this is AMERICA , lets do it ourselves in our own shop and do it right, it is an AMERICAN car, it was done 40+ yrs ago, with the technology of today, dont tell me it cant be done faster and better???
just like the after market console guages, the ones with the "made is USA" on them, they dont say MADE IN USA because they arent made in the usa their made in china!!!!
how hard could it be to press these out and get them painted???

this stuff is so simple and i could go on forever, this might spark a long post but its just not right, the thing is
THEY KNOW IT, and we keep buying it to support it.

i dont buy stolen tools from people because it supports the theft of doing it in the first place see what i mean??

anyway, if i can soon finance this kind of repop stuff, you wont hardly know the difference, i would be flooded with calls, the word would spread like a wild fire in california during a drought of 5 yrs. I would be escaladed into having to make the company bigger due to the demand!!!!

i am flooded now with calls for my business, why? because i do it as right as i can, i research the product, apply per instructions and even research the instructions per application.
i have had so many tools and when you buy one, it seems they tried it for about an hour or so and said hey it works, and then you buy it and the switch goes out or it just locks up or burns up during the first few hours of being used. ???

any way someday look for RON'S REPOPS buy one from me after my research and YOU WILL BE BACK for more!!!!!
thank you and have a nice day.
