Full fiberglass doors and dash? This is not something you are going to get an internet price quote about (and if you do, it will not be anywhere accurate or from any reputable shop with any kind of accuracy). This is very custom work and will require you to stop in and talk with a specialist (there are only about three shops in the Tampa Bay Area that are capable of extensive glasswork).

I can tell you however that if you are talking about completely fiberglassed door panels and completely fiberglassed dash, you are going to be well past the thousand dollar mark though...

the only way fair to both the installer and customer is a per hour plus materials, I have done several projects lately. Putting hundreds of hours in a project, and gallons of resin, bondo, sheets of glass, and countless sandpaper sheets the amount of work it takes to make these finished pieces of art truely take a true love to the job.

I will never again take on a full interior, but at Audio Empire we did a dozen or so. Every vehicle is different, but to ballpark it - expect to pay at least(I said AT LEAST) 5000$ for a full custom dash build, and 2500$ for 2 fully custom door panels. If you're serious about getting it done PM or call me, I know someone capable of doing it and he'll give you a good deal for good work.

You probably also didn't realize that it is a few months worth of work at any local shop here also? As was mentioned, it can take a few hundred hours worth of work-at MINIMUM $50 per hour plus $200-$600 for materials. Not a cheap game. Pretty much reserved for custom show cars and customers with DEEEEP pockets...
