    Yea, but not bad when you consider how much it costs to have one restored by one of those dash companys. And how much do the originals go for? Seems like a fair price for a brand new dash pad that hasn't already been around getting beat by the sun for 35 years.

    And mean maverick is correct, RB is the trim code for the Sprints.

    I have a 1976 Maverick Stallion, and 85 More Mavericks and Comets in Inventory.
    I actually would like to make the door pannels,,, but I am not sure how many diferant colors that would intale,,, The company that is doing the dash pads,,, said it could be something we could do in the future,,, I know its up top with some other parts,,, but I am trying to get the most hard to find parts along with frame and sheet metal off as quick as possible,,, Believe me I would love to see interior door pannels done,, I have cars that dont have so much as a crumb to go by,,,
    If some one would like to do the following,,, I will look into doing it,,
    (1) Start a pole. How many people need them.
    (2) pic 3 colors. Im sure a minimum order will be required by the factory.
    (3) What 2 years to start with would be Popular and most desired.
    (4) what is the price range that people would be willing to pay to get a
    set made up,,?

    I will do all that I can to get the things that are needed,,

    Thank you

    Joe

    I agree, I had to buy 5 sets of rear panels till I found a set that was worth using. Still not perfect though.

    I have a 1976 Maverick Stallion, and 85 More Mavericks and Comets in Inventory.

    I have all the parts boxed up and ready for over sea's, (2) Dashpads are in that box,, along with alot of other assotiated pieces we want done. Soon as the word comes back from this company,, we plan on (3) proto types being made, 1 will be sent to Mavaholic,, 1 will be sent to Craig Selvey,,, and one will remain here,, This will give 2 others that have a awesome reputation in this comunity to look over the finished product and give an honest report on the quality of each piece. Then if no changes are needed the parts will be produced,, the time and prices will be posted on each Item,, we are going to make the runs at the minimum's,, and will only produce the numbers that are sold after that,, I think with shipping and the time to look things over for the dash pads,, I would give it a week or so to hear back on cost and date of manufacturing,,, But we are so gonna have Dash pads,,,:bananaman and the colors are going to be; Black- Blue- a light neutral color,, on the first run,, then if we find that we have 50 people after a certain color we will send a sample color and have them made along with Black or so,, unless we get 2 very popular colors and can make 50 of each,,, to make our 100 minimum after the 200 at first.
    Like I said,, I am in the same boat with everyone else,, I dont want to see anyone not getting what they need,,, So please keep your Idea's coming,, Its the only way we can help each other.:thumbs2:

    Thank you

    Hmmm... speaking for myself. I generly feel leary about products made in another country. It needs to have a certain look and feel of quality...
    Anyway, hope all turns out well cause the community needs these things.
