Probably all done at the same place. They are NOT cheap!

Read a few reviews of just dashes,comments were they were very expensive and off on the diminsions..quite noticable once installed...Has anyone seen the dashes from year one? How was the quality and such?

As far as I am aware only just dashes do this and places like Year One just send off to them. Year One do not manufacture ANYTHING.

Many top restorers use just dashes.

Also I don't see how the dimensions can be off when they are recovering the original frame? :?

I just had a look at the Year One web site and I see they now sell a complete dashpad. This is different to what they used to do. I would be suprised if this product was as good as the Just Dashes process.

Year one buys the dashes from Just Dashes, marks the price up some, then redistributes them. Same product
