Dash pad

Featured Replies

My dash pad is pretty cracked, anybody replaced there's. I cant seem to find a replacement, I have a 66 pontiac 2+2, same as a catalina. Anybody know of a good company to buy one from?

I'm gonna field this one too!

Do NOT do what I did. I could not source a replacement anywhere. The one company who specialise in such matters wanted an obscene amount of money to replicate the old pad. Simply chip out whatever cracks, lumps & imperfections you have and then use body filler to reshape those areas. In other words, work with what you got. Once the base is done you can cover it with whatever material takes your fancy and then paint it.

I comprehensively took mine down to the metal frame and then had to rebuild the entire thing. Do NOT do that!

I also redid my own dash pad. Turned out pretty good for being my first attempt. As Fitzy said, I chipped out everything and then made the cracks wide enough to fit to body filler. Once hardened sand it down and recover everything with a thin foam. I used 3M Super 77 to glue the foam down. One word of caution, DO NOT USE CONTACT CEMENT. As I stated this was my first time doing this. I was told to use Weldwood contact cement to glue the vinyl down. So, I did, as soon as the car heated up to summer temps it started lifting. Weldwood is a good product, just not for this application. I also used a "Stretch vinyl". It's an automotive and marine grade vinyl but it has a little stretch to it making it easier to pull around curves and corners. Good luck and keep us posted bro.

A company called Just Dashes will redo it, but they are expensive. You can also talk to a local auto upholsterer about it too.
