I had a perfect dash pad I removed from a 68 lemans that I scrapped about 13 years ago. I had it tucked away in my garage attic in my last home. Later that year I was putting a new roof on the garage & cut vented ridge cap into the peak of the roof. A small 2" board fell through the opening & guess where it landed.......
I found the dash cracked when I sold the house & was moving things out out the following year. I was very upset that day.....
Only piece of wood that fell into the attic in a 26' span & it had to land on the dash pad....
