Thanks for taking this on. To use a plastic injection process would probably make it cost prohibitive and lots are in need.

when we first got our coach I noticed that part of the dash was wobbling
all over the place I pulled it apart and those back straps that you have
there were broke and the faceplate surrounding them fortunately all the
pieces were under the dash and I was able to use J-B Weld to fix them now
it is nice and sturdy but still concerned about how long it will last

An ideal example of why Plastic IS NOT AN IDEAL MATERIAL to build things
out of. Does the term "planned obsolescence" sound familiar? As long as it
lasts longer than the warranty, that is great, and much preferred by the
manufacturers to something more expensive and long lasting.

What is this made from? What’s the story of its manufacture? I’m sure
there’s a story there.

I am building the fiberglass parts for Alex Sirum GMC.

I have added new products like the cab inside roof and dash covers.

This is the next new part.
