pulled dash pad

73X made a comment on another thread that it was not impossible to remove the dash pad without having to remove the frame and cluster, or even lowering the colume. So I gave it a try, and it worked. The hardest nut was on the drivers side. The dash I pulled is in the photo below, its actually pretty nice, it just wasn't original.

new pad from Nicks, here is a photo of the pad i pulled with the new pad from Nick (new pad is on the bottom). I just need to fix one of the vents on the dash insert, change the nameplate with an NOS I have, and touch up the silver trim.

lol yep - big difference - i have to get around to that, as it's about the most embarrasing thing havin a car everyone checks out, and you have a nasty cracked-up dash - i'll probably just get a cap for now, unless i just save more for the actual pad, but won't the repopped ones crack just like the originals?

I'm sure materials are better then in the 70's, but most of all, its not going on a daily driver. Mine is garaged, and even driving around, I have one of those carpet like pads to cover the dash pad.

I'm selling the pad I pulled, so please check the for sale items if your interested. I have several photo's. PM me if you need more pics. The pad I pulled was made with vinyl. Its not original, but there are NO cracks, its very clean, and shines up nice. Perfect for a guy on a budget or those who just don't care about original and want something that looks good. pics http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc208/loop_bumper/ I would like to sell it to a Nest membern before trying moparts.

I wish you had decided that before I got a cap for the one I received from a friend.

LOL

I pulled mine without the dash frame. I'm going to take the frame out though and re-paint it, then put the whole assembly back in
