found not 1 but 2 flawless dash pads at the junkyard. I may start going just to find parts like this and sale them.

 

those are both for camaros? why does one have covers and one doesmt, have i really never taken notice to this?

 

i have a dash pad like the top one in the pic it came with my t/a will it fit it?

 

The one on the bottom is a Fire Bird dash,the one on the top Camaro

 

one would think with so many interchangeable parts between them that theyd be the same yanno. i like the bird one better personally.

 

Well,I broke down and bought a used dash pad,AGAIN.Couldn't pass up on the price and it is in excellent condition.Hope this one last longer than the others.

 

How much was the replacement cover that you had before.

 

So my pad is cracked on the corner. I don't want the glare or texture of a painted one so I think ill try my hand at covering it with some leather. Maybe find some nice 4x6 speakers and grills and mold them in flush should look nice.

 

Are you talking about the dash cover or the dash pad

 

Sorry, the dash cover.

 

The dash cover with shipping was about $140.00 that was with a discount from Classic.I see your from the Poconos,that's where I traveled to get the dash pad that I covered.

 

Thanks man... my original one just cracked recently... probably going to pick one up after I get it back on the road.

 

I'll sell you this one,it has the dash pad glued to it!!!
and also.it's for a 82-84

 

Right now, I'm concentrating on getting it inspected. New tires are coming today, then I need a vss, and some air dam plastics. Its been 12 years since it was on the road and its KILLING me. If you still have it in a few months, I'll check on it. If you can sell it to someone else in that time, by all means, please do.

 

My favorite is Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. I had a friend use it _many_ years ago on his 69 GTO. He just slathered the dash pad in it and covered the pad with aluminum foil for a couple of weeks and let the stuff soak in. After that, he removed the foil, wiped the excess off and never had an issue with his dash.

I did the same with an uncracked dash pad I got for our 86 SVO, only I coated it, wrapped it in foil and then wrapped it in seran wrap and then stored it in our closet for a couple of years until I got to restoring the car. It's in the car now, and looking good as new.

I just recently received _another_ uncracked dash pad for our 92 B4C, and will be treating it the same way. I'll probably NOT wrap it and leave it for so long, but will probably let it sit for a couple of weeks before wiping it down and installing it.

 

the vaseline will keep it new looking until it dries and then it will crack it like no other. i always used suntan lotion
