The ever-present question: Got a dash pad?

The damn cold weather has taken its toll on my lovely interior. If anyone out there has a dash pad from an 85-92 firebird, I will gladly take it off your hands for you. I am trying to find a deal. The cheapest I've seen, so far, is $100 plus shipping and handling. Let me know if you can help!

Be careful of tommygun006. I bought some seats from him and he forgot to metion one was broken! After I called him about it he said he had never seen those kind of seats and could not do anything about the part. He sold another set about a month later and when I asked about the part I needed he just blew me off. BE VERY CAREFUL!!!!

And Tommygun, if you read this you know who I am. I WANT SOME MONEY BACK!!!!

I have thought about going with a custom vinyl cover. My friend's dad does custom upholstery for older cars, but he has a peeve about working on newer stuff. I personally prefer the original dash pad look...

I cracked mine in my accident; the "Professional" dash-repair-kit that Permatex sells did the trick. Plus, I still have a ton of the stuff left over (as long as it hasn't hardened over the past 4 years, heh) to do more repairs. Not too bad for $10.
