just dashes Dashpad key hole way off

[dodge68charger]

I sent one of my dash pads to Just dashes to get redone, got it back a few days ago and when i went to install it yesterday i noticed the key hole was 1/2" off. Anyone else run into this problem.. Thanks

There will be just a little bit of give on the adjustment of where that lower dashpad will secure down. The holes through the metal dash frame are about twice the diameter of the studs coming out of the pad. Have you tried loosening up the pal nuts and playing with the alignment of the pad? Usually just dashes work is pretty dead on. But, that's not to say they couldn't have had an employee do a shotty job. I'd call'em up if you can't make it align. My guess would be that they would be quick to fix it for you.

Glad you were able to make things fit. Based on my own experience with these guys, I think that if you are not Roger Gibson or some other high end resto shop, the quality of work lacks.

Very nice looking dash resto. Should look great in the car.

On the bit about zero-ing the odometer - I'm not sure about other countries, but here in New Zealand that practice is illegal, and considered a fraudulent act to tamper with odometer readings. I understand why you would want to do it, but strongly suggest you don't. My 2 cents worth

I got the engine rebuilt and wanted a clean slate. Not too concerned about it though. The car is Black with a red interior, lots of work left still. Appreciate the feedback guys, thanks. This site helps me out soo much!!
