Yeah, I can pull the dash out and get ready.

Linky to replacement procedures for bookmarking?

We will be doing an installation write up. We are planning to have some improvements that will make it easier to install, but can do an OEM mount system too. We need to test the 1st option, or we will do an OEM style mount.

I did add the other while you are there items like the new vinyl for the top, windshield to dash seal and dash face vinyl on the listing. Should make easier for you to find.

Texture is spot on

Mark, it looks incredible! I would swear that was my NOS part until I saw the picture where you showed the bottom. Beautiful job, as always!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Last time I went in for a group buy item that was like $40 or so, it ended up costing me about $250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I just happens.

Hey Mark,

It turns out I could use everything you listed above. Any chance you will offer everything above as a package option on the website?

They look great. Hopefully they will go out in the same order as this thread reflects. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Payment sent!

They will go out in the same order as paid for except Kens'. His is #1 off the line.

PM's sent to all to this point.

Thanks, Mark! Would you mind autographing it for me?

You are the hero here, not me. All I did was trust you with a part I had that is in rare supply. You had the courage, knowledge, expertise, and fortitude to spend your own money to have it recreated and fulfill a huge need to our community. I can't thank you enough for what you have done to help us keep these cars alive, and I can't wholly discount the fact that you are now providing "hard-to-find parts" that could partially account for the the recent escalations in the value of our cars.

And to all of you who purchase this product, it was on a whim that I bought the master copy from Brumos back in December of 2002. PCA sent out a $100 voucher to spend at your dealer of choice. I knew that my local dealer didn't have anything that I needed, so I decided to call Brumos after having read about them in Panorama and Excellence. With all that history, I figured they probably had some things on their shelves that nobody else did. I was correct, and I am glad that things ended up the way they have. My NOS dash might not be worth as much as it was before, but I have helped Mark serve the community, and that pleases me greatly.

Wow, thanks Ken! I agree with you on Mikey. He's lifting the watermark on all of our 914s.

Thanks Ken,
Without your dash I couldn't have done this. As far as my helping to increase the values, probably mostly market forces there. But, imagine if there was only one source for the parts like there was 10 years ago. Back then the targa to window seals were $75 each, same with the vertical targa seals. The seals I started with in the engine compartment were about $230 for the set. I sell them for $68 for the set right now. So yes I have affected the market on the parts side. helping to keep the cost of restoration reasonable. We will be having to revise our pricing as we haven't raised out prices in years, and have grown, but it will be a number less than 10% on average.

It's been fortunate that my day job allows me to make enough money to not have to live off this company. I have been reinvesting back into it since day 1. I now have 5 guys working for me and my brother has come on board to help us to grow and manage in my absence. So it's been a fun project, and we have our eyes on some other really cool items that of this magnitude (dash top), that we will be continuing to reinvest back into. I know that there are now other larger vendors entering the market, and on some things we can't do as well, but we really do appreciate your loyalty, because every dollar you spend with us going into the next project, not buying us expensive cars to "display our products" on.

Again, it's the people here at World that have allowed me to make these for them.

Ken we are looking at a brand to stamp the bottoms on the dashes so they truly will bear your name.
