Dash pad repair

Just for general knowledge is there anyone restoring dash pads?

 

www.justdashes.com
Plus another place, I can't think of.

 

I decided it would be quicker and easier to just buy a dash pad cover on ebay. Probably cheaper too. It cost just under $100 including shipping.

 

Thanks!

 

Hey Red did you get my PM?

 

I am very happy with my dash pad. (Accuform) I happened to have a free shipping ad from WC Whitney and they were a few $ less but it fits Very well and is Very east to install.

 

Thanks DDB! $450.00. You think i can find an original one for that price? In great condition?

 

Sometimes yes, but NOS, never, the last NOS one on Ebay went for pretty big money.
The only issue with buying a used one is, no matter what it looks like, it's still 34+ years old..and will eventually crack (they all do)
Dash covers look pretty good, if you take the time to adjust the fit, nice and tight, 99% of the people would never know it's a cap.
A few people have reupholstered theirs, and they look really good, just not exactly factory.

 

my dash is cracked out the wah-zoo lol and i dont think tht a cap or sleeve will do, are there any othr refurbishing or repairing options tht i shood know about?

 

you would be surprised at what that...dash cap...will cover...

 

really now, hhmmm. i will look into this then lol do u no where i can get one at a good price?

 

saweet, thx a mill

 

Dash cap shud do it. U just have to get it smooth and clean. Some say u don't have to use the adhesive - I used it on mine. I like the results.

 

you dont get much more cracked then mine. Still need to work on how it fits up by the window, but looks a heck of a lot better......
