It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

Dash Frame Resto

After posting my dash cluster in the electrical area I guess I should post the frame info here.

I blasted the frame. Epoxy coated, high build, sanded, re-primed and wet sanded with 600 before putting on a few coats of SEM trim paint. I shot it out of my HVLP gun using a 2.2 tip. It gave me a bit of a texture I hope duplicates the original look. Came out decent I think. Now I am starting to put it back together.

Did you restore the entire dash or who did you use?  Thanks!  I'm approaching this soon

I also restored all the gauge faces and replaced all the dash buttons. I did it all myself. There is plenty of info on this site to help you along.

Looks good. I especially like the wood frame you made to hold the damn thing. Great idea.
