Dash Pad Replacement
The dash pad on my '90 has some pretty significant damage above the cluster and at the glove compartment. I pretty much just got laughed out of a restoration shop, so I figured I'd look into doing the job myself.
Anyone know 1) where I can find a good replacement dash? and 2) where I can find instructions and/or a good how-to video to complete this job?
Much appreciated,
Jason

Most of the Corvette parts sites have new aftermarket dash pads, they run about $400.00.... There pretty easy to put in , 5 or 6 screws under the front, 2 on top in the defroster vent , then pull back and up.. There are metel hooks that slide into holders so you need to pull back until you clear the holders then you can lift it off, reverse to install the new pad, You will have to remove wires if you have speakers in you dash pad...There should be instruction with it , and I believe you could find some on there I you do a search....Ebay has used pads for auction or sale, but you really have to be careful because some times what they call excellent shape I call just "Fair" shape....WW

Oh Crap, I need to start reading the posts better...There should still be instructions on this forum somewhere for putting in a 90 dash..Because I was so stupid and didn't read correctly, I took the liberty of finding a few used dash pads for the OP...
