The problem is the whole dash is 45 years old so once it starts cracking, it won't stop. It will just crack in a different area.

I found the surface material to be very brittle and I ended up removing a lot of it. I used a fiberglass filler to restore the shape of the area above the gauges. I have sanded it smooth and am considering doing a texture paint or matte felt finish, as done on some race cars. |
