Carbon Fiber Dash / Center Console?

The best way is to call Steve at 562-634-3434. I seem to recall that a recent post said that he wasn't big on emails, but I could be wrong.

Thanks, I'll give him a call tomorrow!

Also, if anyone reading this has these units installed, I'd love to see some pictures (your opinion on the product would be great too). I saw a couple of pics of an uninstalled dash a while back, but I can't find the link now.

Here's a photo from my archive, no idea who's car it is though.

Jason Eaton got his from Wilkinson:

Hey, ok i've installed the center console and gauge panel,yes it's carbon fiber,and looks good as does the gauge panel. But there is no engineering in the pieces at all . You will need to fab brackets it mount the center console dash to the main dash. Then also all the attachment parts to put the gauge panel to the center dash and fab parts to attach the ac controls. The parts are nice but compared to the factory center dash, It's not as substantial a part. Also it scratches easy. The idea is nice but for the money it should bolt right in and fit well since it comes from a Pantera vender.

those are cool gauges. I wonder how much it was for autometer to assemble those for the pantera?

I have the Wilkinson carbon dash, center console and door panels in my car with the Autometer gauges. I think it looks very nice in person. Only thing I could knock is the glove box sucks and you have to change the kick panel on passenger side that covers the fuse block as the dash is shaped a little different.

Thanks alot for the pics and info guys - looks awesome. I called Wilkinsons and got some pricing information, just have to decide which pieces I want to get now.

Does anyone know, if someone makes just the gauge piece that fits the stock center console? In fiberglass? 73/74 car.
Thanks

I bought just the centre piece in fibreglass, I will mod it to suit my std centre housing, as I could not afford a new one of those as well.( due to aussie dollar conversion and freight)
As i have fitted stainless steel brushed over my dash, i just have to work out how to do it to this.

I love the carbon fiber interior look ..although it takes away the acoustics in the interior ...I wonder what this pacage of parts cost ?

More then a couple of balloons or is that Brasher Dubloons?

Chech out the door panels. The seats, the carpet. Nice. Very, very nice.

It's an entirely different look and feet to the interior.

A while back there was a guy making CF ones and selling them on Ebay, I have one here to go in my '74.

I'm looking for an insert for the dash, much like the later burlwood but in CF.

here you go-CF or burl wood:

Or for those wanting adventure and more money in their pockets, try searching eBay for 'carbon fiber sheet"

Beware of the vinyl CF looking stuff, but there are genuine CF products such as this:

I've used the sheets before, problem is they don't like tight radii, but a good option for flat pieces or large bends. For the dash insert I'd want to do it in one piece as well which means finding a 5 foot long sheet. I think this is one where I'll stick to the vendors purpose made product.
