Syd,
I'm working on a resto on my 78 B and have cracks in the top of the
dash. One of the DIF books looks like the older cars have a dash made of
a front cover, a (wooden?) covered rail and a top. My car seems to have
a one piece vinyl dash. Can I (me, not some store) recover it. Could
you give me some advice?
TIA,
Dwade
Longview, TX
