    My 72 Maverick has a broken dash :cry: , it has both, hair line fractures and complete broken pieces, but its complete.



    What kind of glue can I use to repair it.



    Also any tips on painting it would be appreciated

    Thanks,

    Don't use a glue...will look like crap. Go to J.C. Whitney, and for the paultry sum of about $69, you get a dash pad cover. It snaps or glues on, and you cannot tell if it is original or not, if you paint it. I use one, and it fits very well. Give it a try!
