I just installed the dash pad today I have been describing. It's a little project for sure. The 5 screw holes I had to re-punch were pretty tough to get in just the right place without punching multiple holes and without bunching the material. The 2 screw holes one on the right and one on the left that hold the thin ends of the pad to the dash were particularly tough. They have a severe angle on them to pull the pad flush with the dash face. It took me about 3 hours to carefully get it installed with the best fit possible and to my satisfaction. I think it looks almost as good as what I likely would have received from Just Dash's at 1/3 the cost. Some work involved in the installation, but possibly no different than a Just Dash's restoration. I will post some pics next time we have a nice day here. Engine-Ear, did you have a chance to look at the vinyl sample I sent?

I did and it looks good, but I am busy with RediRad stuff right now and need a couple weeks to get my Bonne to remove its dash pad and determine whether I am up to such a task... stand by (if possible). Tanks!

No problem on the vinyl. It's safely stored away. No danger of the internet crashing from interest in buying it. BTW, my 2 Redi-Rads going strong. One is probably 4 years old now.

Great weather here today, nearly 80 degrees. Took a few pics of the dash and drove about 50 miles in it to clear my head and run out the December gas. I am happy with the dash and can share contact info with anyone interested. The shop is a one man operation and he asked me not to publish his info on a public forum Simply PM me and I will be happy to share. I wanted to thank Bob Vidan publicly for selling me the clock block off plate for a reasonable price and it was in flawless condition.
