well do you want something thrown together, or have something that took a little bit of time and looks awsome?

well i bought my car about four months ago and the guy i bought it from had sent it even before i had bought it so its probably been about 6 months since he has had my dashboard and glove box cover. i dont know how long it takes to do a dash and glove box but i have been sending him emails and he doesnt reply. i wouldnt mind him taking so long as long as he just replied to my emails to see how it was going with my stuff. im not saying he doesnt do his work maybe hes busy right now but from my experience he takes a while.

he does it as a hobby so its not his main focus of things, if i remember correctly I thought he was taking classes or something along those lines as well. From the pics of his prior work, it is quality work, and cf isnt the same as working with fiberglass, fg is alot easier to cover up mistakes in the weave or imperfections when laying the material, unless you want crazy weave, it takes time to lay it properly and then to get it sanded and look smooth when all is said and done. I would be willing to bet its worth the wait.

Ben takes his time, b/c he doesn't do it for a job or for the money...He states he does it to help out the J-body community with something custom...and that is exactly what he does. Ben does great work, and a real nice guy.

If you can wait for a piece, I suggest asking him if he can do it for you. If you can't wait...then well...good luck with it all

Last i heard of Ben he was working 2 jobs and school. He is the first to tell you that it take quite a bit of time to do these right. Last time i was over at his place i thimk i saw like 5 or 6 dash tops, just give him time. The best thing to do is to buy a piece out of a wrecking yard and send so that you are not rolling with @!#$ missing, and give him time.
