Have been told that the dreadedcracked dash can be refurbished to look very good. Anyone know how this would be done? I am thinking repair the padding then upholser it with black leather or something. Any thoughts are welcome.

Dr. Evil used to do it, don't think he's doing it anymore though...

2 options:
take it to an upholster and see if he can fix it, it won't looks like it did from the factory, but good all the same.
OR:
pm/email Craig @ CAMP914 (boxstr on this site), he does a recover that makes it EXACTLY as it was new(as close as possible, anyway)

other than that, hope for a good used one to hit the classifieds...

PS: i have seen one of craigs dashes and it looked great!

i've seen the dashes made by craig at camp914, and they are top notch, they look and feel like new.

You can also try Just Dashes- they vacuum form new vinyl on dashes and do outstanding work.



Just dashes

I pm'd Dr. Evil about three weeks ago, and he indicated to me that he was going to start doing the dashes again as soon as he gets situated.

yup, got a call last night from my partner. He said lets get this thing started. I have a BIG anatomy tesy next Thurs, so I will be a bit slow up till then. PM me and I will get you on "the list".

dat's good news!

I would think you could do a Fiberglass and bondo job on an existing dash. Plenty of car stereo guys do this.
