Trying to see if anyone has a non-cracked dash shell for an 82-89 Camaro.

 

Try the classified section here, but cracked dash shells are more common than not, unfortunately. If not visibly cracked there's almost always hidden cracks...good luck

 

I’ll try that. I’m new to the forum and still trying to figure it all out. I know the majority are cracked in some manner. Mine cracked coming out. I may try and send to a company to restore. That’s if I don’t find anything. I appreciate the help though.

 

You can repair those cracks easy yourself with the dash out. I used fiberglass screen and plastic epoxy on the back side. Been holding up for well over a decade now. Of course if you look close they are still there, just not pulled apart and open.

They all crack, its just a matter of time. And since you can't buy them new a used one is a gamble how much longer it will last.

I gave up having a perfect car years ago and live with imperfections. Now I just try to have a "nice" car and am much happier. I daily driver mine and don't worry about wearing stuff out. Can't take it with when you go anyway.

 

Mine split in two, down the middle. I riveted the two halves together with some L brackets. No new cracks in 8 years. I gave up finding a decent used dash.
