A couple of years ago, I replaced the foam portion of the dashboard because it had several deep cracks in it, and was looking worse than shabby. My efforts to spiff it up weren’t satisfactory. So, I stripped off the old pad except for the firm foam that’s riveted to the metal dash plate and replaced it with a new dash pad. The instructions were pretty bad and the end result was a disappointment. I was so upset with it that I nearly sold the car just so I didn’t have to look at the disappointing dash anymore. I got over that, but am still not happy. One part of the problem is that the metal plate has some rust damage due to old leaks around the windshield. <br class=""><br class="">Now, someone is selling a nice looking metal dash out of an earlier car. In theory, it should fit in the same spot as a padded dash and attach to the car the same way, right? I know some of the wiring would be different and have to be adapted in a non-DPO way. Also, the 1974 console is not the same as the earlier cars, so I would have to find a way to get everything to look right. But there would no longer be a need to deal with that PITA dash padding any longer. <br class=""><br class="">Any thoughts?<br class=""><br class="">Thank you,<br class="">-William<br class=""><br class="">Sent from my iPhone<br class="">_______________________________________________<br class=""><br class=""><a href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" class="">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><br class="">Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br class="">Suggested annual donation $12.75<br class=""><br class="">Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs http://autox.team.net/archive<br class=""><br class="">Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/mvheim@sonic.net<br class=""><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
