Dash pad for 67 F'body
Where is the best place to get a dash pad for a 67 F'body. I got rid of my stock one years ago thinking it could not be restored. Now I need a new dash pad. Does Just Dashes sell pads or just restore them ???

Talked to Just Dashes. They only restore dashes for a 67. So I need to find a good quality repro of a salvagable original one.

Some of the repros for 67's aren't that bad and might just be as good or better than a reconditioned one.
You might be able to find an original that needs nothing but it will be expensive, how expensive can vary a lot.May The Horsepower Be With You !!!
