I'm certain that there are numerous, satisfied recepients of Camp914s' dash top refurbishments, but, has anyone in the concours circles had firsthand experience with this repair. The photos on their site indicate that their refinishing can't be told from new. If this is the case, I'll be buying one. However, I don't want to get a renewed dash pad if it's apparent that it doesn't match the original.

No, I can't tell by the pictures. The key is the width of the glove box recess in the top. The '70 & '71 (4 & 6) cars has a wider glove box door. The recess got wider in '72 with the addition of side vents making the glove box door narrower. Get a dimension of the width of the notch and compare it with your own car.

Don I just went out to measure the opening in my own car and found something very interesting. Depending on what you guys think, "interesting" may be the wrong word. Anyway, take a look at the pic below. Based on what you're saying Don, it appears to me that my car has the wrong dash in it as it sits...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The glove box door doesn't open fully, but I hadn't noticed it until now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (sorry...crappy cell pic)  |
