<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by MarkJ:
I would like to see a patch panel made that would repair the dash area where the radio mounts on 69-72 A bodies. Finding an original uncut dash is getting almost impossible. I got the idea while look through a Mustang restoration parts catalog. They have a panel that mounts over the dash and covers the cuts and holes from aftermarket radio installs. It’s not a very expensive part either. This would be an easy part to make tooling for, since almost any sheet metal shop can bend and cut (punch) the steel. The part could be made to fit over the original metal (just like the Mustang panel) and fastened with countersunk pop rivets. More adventurous restorers could cut and weld the panel, although I don’t know how the dash would react to the heat. This panel could also be made for the 68 and earlier cars, but that might take some extra thinking to figure out. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I have rarely received a request for the metal part. Mostly owners request the plastic part which is now available. I would thing there is an abundance of used dash pads that are cracked but not cut up around the radio area. --------------------------- Disguntled PY Forums worker

Chris:
I had posted several months ago concerning the '72 GTO ducktail spoiler, without much success. I'm EXTREMELY interested in purchasing one. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put me on a waiting list for one. Any idea of the price yet? Thanks again!

I wish someone would reproduce a metal 1964 GTO hood. All I can find is glass at $395. Just doesn't seem right to put a glass hood on these old girls.

A nice replacement console ( at least the top metal ) for the 65 GTO. I believe the 64,66 Also share this piece, just different colors on 64.

He was able to borrow the 3 pieces for a few months and had molds made to produce a set for his GTO. Turned out very nice. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I still have photos of the original removed from the car. I noticed in this month's issue of Pontiac Enthusiast that John Sawruk commented about the 'ducktail' spoiler. His opinion on the reason why it wasn't used; Too difficult to align. Well, if that were the reason, why did they release one for the Firebird/Camaro ?
