Default Who does dash restorations for our 67s?
So I ordered the RePop 67 dash and woodgrain insert from our host. After 3 different inserts being completely off and the dash itself being off it's all just going back. I'm honestly disappointed.

My question...does anyone do real restorations on our factory dashes?

Chris Casperson used to offer it, do not know if he is still involved with it. Obama and the EPA did a good job at killing off a lot of the chroming shops.

Are you talking dash pad, or cluster housing?

Bezel. Never seen a dash pad with a woodgrain insert.

These guys did my 67 dash bezel. To say it was gorgeous would be an understatement.

Anyone got a structurally nice '67 bezel they would like to part ways with? A/C preferred but not required. I'm sure I could cut a non A/C one.

Not positive but I don't think you can make an A/C one out of a non-A/C one.

Absolutely; it's the same bezel just use the control panel as template just like the factory did.

'67 is not molded different like '64/'65? Cannot recall.

Hey Bob. Do you mind me asking what the cost/turn around time was? Got any pictures?

Our vendor says that's what the factory did. Just cut the hole bigger.

Tried to get a few pictures this morning. Tough with the garage lighting. This dash was done about 7 years ago. Still looks perfect. Don't remember the cost. I do remember the turn around was about 12 weeks. Give them a call, real nice people.

I am more versed in '64/'65's. I did not know that a '67 can go either way. Is '66 the same way?
