I posted up pics of my dash BEFORE I took it in. Posts around number 50 in this thread but the pics are a combination of my dash that has now been restored and a '65 dash without A/C that was so far gone that The Dashboard Doctor told me it was just taking up space and was far, far beyond resto suitability. That one is now resting in the junk tip forever.

But here's a couple of the before pics again on the dash I picked up today. Plenty of cracks on it and very very brittle but still all there. Dashs for resto need to be similar to this.

Phil, when I said "similar", what I meant was that dashes in similar condition to what mine was are suitable for restoration.

Obviously, dashes with less damage are MORE suitable. From what he told me, my dash was getting close to borderline as to whether it would have been viable to restore at all. Certainly, the '65 non A/C dash I had was far past its use-by date and was only good for throwing out.

As I mentioned above, it cost me $700 to get mine restored and coloured to match my interior.

My dash could be considered a "worst-case" scenario I guess. What they would charge to do a dash with less damage, I suppose you would only know once it was presented to him.
