VFN glass dash install tip

You need to reuse the "frame" under the dash other wise it will be VERY flimsy, with the "frame" it feels very solid.

I'm more intrested in the column. Who's is that, and what did it run you? Can it be adjusted as well?

That dash is about 10 lbs lighter then the stock one.

Yes you set it up to your taste and we got it at A.R.T. , they are about five miles from the shop.

As mentioned about 10lbs for the "shell" but everything else that was in it was taken out too. In this case the stock dash was all cracked up so we just got the glass one to replace it. Wouldn't really recommend it as a "stock replacement" type of part though.

10 lbs isn't bad. It all adds up. Thanks for the tip.

I'd like to see some pictures if it installed in a transan/firebird, since it was designed to replace that dash. I have seen them in camaro's and they never lok that good, but in a firebird I"m wondering if it looks right.
