Dash Pad ???
The dash in my 81 is in ok shape, the top corners are cracked from the sun and it has a small piece missing in the center above the center gauges.
I have read up on the quality of the replacement dash board, that said does anyone offer a skin for the dash? I have seen them for Chevy trucks,
where you glue them over the factory pad?
I am going to try and remove the dash tomorrow, and anything of this nature, would mean I have to get the old one out with out any more damage?

I had pretty good luck with mine. IF you go this route DO NOT remove the present dash.
There are a few places that need attention but with a little thought and patience this one fit pretty good.

I was thinking about experimenting sewing a vinyl cover with exposed stitching and glueing it to cover my dash. Something like a modern sports car would have. Anyone tried this?

My dash is in perfect condition and I have been looking into dash pad protectors. To add protection only problem is I have not found one to match my 1977 Torch Red interior. I have put these on other cars and it helps to throw them in the dryer to get out the wrinkles from the packaging.
