A couple weeks ago I decided to replace my dash pad. When I folded down the windshield I decided I might as well tackle the cowl seal also, after I took it off I thought I might as well replace my old windshield. I spent an entire week removing tons of old silicone that a PO went crazy with on the cowl seal and windshield. Next, my wife see's what I'm doing and tells me I should go ahead and do the repairs on the dash that I had been planning on, after all I'm half way there. It requires removing the dash, so I've almost got the dash out.
My plan is to have someone weld a couple patches on both sides of the radio cutout, so I can put an original radio back in. I think if they just tack the corners then the new dash overlay will cover the heat discoloration. Next, I want to mount my ashtray above the oil & volt gauges. Then, I'm going to mount my factory fog light switch. Lastly, I will mount the AC unit along the bottom. I will also be replacing all the little dash lights and heater pulls and dash pinstriping.
Oh yea, since I have to pull the steering wheel to get the dash off, I'm going to go ahead and put a leather wheel back on and leather grab bar.
This is where I started.
This is what it looks like now.
I'll post some when I finish SOON, I hope....
