68 Reproduction dash pad info needed
Could someone please supply a pic of the underside of the dash where the bezel sits with the bezel on?
The disassembled Gto I bought came with a A/C reproduction dash pad in the trunk. Either I'm missing something or that dash pad is the worst fitting thing I've ever seen. I can't even get the dash bezel to line up at all. It looks very warped and not shaped like the bezel at all. Thanks, ken |

The '68 A/C dashpad repros are notoriously bad. I ended up putting a cap over an original.

That's not good. I don't have the original nor do I have the center vent or the clips on the bottom front.
How does the bezel fit? Is it fit flush with the pad or is it up a bit? I need something to aim for if I'm going to even try to make it fit. |

The repro I had was 10+ years old and lacked the proper mounting posts, etc. I remember having to heavily modify the vent area to get the vent bezels to fit. It fit so poorly Ames refunded my money for it. OPG sells newer repos, but from what I've read they're not much better. I figure if it fit correctly Ames would sell it.

Again, that’s the older reproduction. I haven’t seen the newer one. Seems Just Dashes or a dash cap are the best options.
