I would have to see quite a bit of interest. I currently do not have a RHD panel and I have to have an original to make the new one. I'll keep it in mind.

I am not offering a price on the second panel. I am not even sure I can make it from scratch yet. Let me get the ac panel done first then I will look into the center panel.
jsut a fyi the pic I posted the guy paid $900 sold them for $650 and I did one set and for the amount of work in them wont do anothe ac relocation custom dash for less than $450. I had plenty of intrest when I asked I people would be interested in getting them done for $350. Dont sell yurself short on the price.
Dave, i know you wouldn't do any work that wasn't up to par, but what is the thickness/strength of these panels compared to the stock plastic? also, would they have difficulty adhereing to paint if we decided to put a finish on them?

Yea Charlie, Jim is about the only person i can think of who would waste time using those stupid things. Whatever floats yer boat i guess.
About the panel. I can dictate the thickness and I will keep it close to stock. I have not measured but it looks like 2 or 3mm. Painting should not be a problem.

Do you have any pics of how the shifter pannel is supposed to look so there isnt a lot of hammering on the tranny? Im redoing a shifter pannel for a local guy. BTW thanks for holding on to those black leather seats I bought from you for so long. I assumed my buddy was kepping you informed on when he was going to pick them up, he told me he would take care of it. Thanks agin Mike
Let me make that a little clearer, Pics of the shifter pannel after the ac relocation so there is not a ton of banging on the tranny tunnel. Thanks
