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.

Its been a few years since I saw craigs first couple of dash redos so take it for what its worth, hopefully Craig will chime in and post close-up photos of the finish.
What I remember was that the finish was very very nice, but it was not the identical grain as stock. Remember also, there was more than one stock grain. Its a very good product, and close, but not identical. To be the most convincing, one might consider refinishing all the interior pads...upper/lower dash, and the 3 Targa bar pieces to match. |
