Dash Cover

[bartz paul]

Look at this site: http://www.dashhugger.com.

I have one of their dash covers that I obtained from Clasco when they were
in business.

It not only protects the dash from sun and heat damage, but from passengers
who put their feet on the dash.

I just talked to the owner. He informed me they have a cover for the 78
GMC. I told him that if I'm not mistaken, the 77's have the same
configuration (i. e. dash vents). They are willing to make a pattern for
other year's if someone will go to them. Very customer service oriented in
my conversation. They have samples of the material and colors to send. The
owner told me he has a cover in his Bounder.

They are located in Clovis CA, in the central CA valley, almost a suburb and
on the NE side of Fresno.

If anyone goes there to have a pattern made, I recommend you let the group
know. Conversely, if someone is interested in obtaining a cover and no
pattern exists, perhaps a request to the group would influence someone in
the area to go to the company to have a pattern made.

I have a dash cover made from somebody when I bought my coach. It is a 77
Eleganza II. I would be happy to lay out a pattern or to send it to them to
make one. If they could, I would like a new one.

Paul, are you coming to Albuquerque.

Paul,

If you got the cover when I was there, it was not a dashhugger. The
company was Dash Topper.

No need to go through the pattern process, I worked with the company that
made your cover and they have a pattern for the early as well as late
coaches. It is not a one time shot to make a well fitting cover. I worked
for a year refining the patterns. Early fits 73,74,75 & 76, late fits 77 &
78.

They really fit nice. Let me know if you need one.

Al:

You must confuse me for someone who doesn't work for a living any more.
However, one of these years I hope to get to the Balloon Fest in Albuqurque,
not that I wouldn't for your upcoming rally. Fortunatelly, every year now
since 1980 or so, we have a large, long running Balloon Fest in Battle
Creek, where I work.

About the dash cover. Isn't your dash layout, not the instrument panel now,
identical in layout across its width, to the 78's. There are two different
sized vent louvers along the width of the dash. Two on the right and two on
the left side?? If so, I believe the cover fitting the 78 also fits the
77's. Order one with that understanding and try it. Otherwise send it back
to them???
