Hi Guys,

Please help, I'm frustrated.... Sort of a newbie question here, but trying to get my 76 dash correct. The car came with no vinyl on the radio plate, and the glove box does not match the rest of the dash. I found an inexpensive glove box door that matches the main dash, and am trying to source a radio plate. I have tried ordering from two sources what I believed to be "late" vinyl radio plates, and both times got the version that does not match the main dash. So, can you tell me, which is correct for my 76? #1, or #2? I thought #1 was correct, but now I am unsure.

Morrie, the top one #1 is correct for your 76 (75-76 MY "Brickweave" pattern).

You can get the material in rolls or bulk yardage to make your own dash vinyl, glove box covering, & radio faceplate.

Thank you Tom! Looks like the ones I have gotten so far from suppliers have not been correct. Soon I will have my glove box door matching, now to get the radio plate. Little things like this bug me, probably because it's what I see from the driver's seat.

IN stock easy to ship. The interesting thing is the late is actually bonded to the metal, so to make it stick you need to strip it.

Also I'll admit it. We did screw this one up. We are making it right.
