| Cathi,
Most auto stores sell a patch kit. It's this polyurethane (sp?) stuff
that you squeeze into the crack, and then you use a heat stamp to
cure it..

| I had a cracked dash pad on my '71 dodge demon. There are 2-3 places
you can send them and have them recovered. I sent mine to "Just Dashes"
in Van Nuys CA, it cost me about $250 bucks and they did a crummy job,
so I sent it back and they did another crummy job. I don't know if
their quality is better or worse than the other companies, but don't
give them your money!

130.3 | Get a dash cover | SWAM1::MEUSE_DA | | Wed Apr 20 1994 18:03 | 8 |

Order one of those custom fit dash covers ie Dash King or others. Some
brands are better. Don't get the velvet finish, it collects dust.
The only one that will know it's cracked is you.
Unless you order an entire new aftermarket dash pad, the filler type
stuff looks bad.

130.4 | decent alternativbe to new | BIGQ::HAWKE | | Thu Apr 21 1994 07:18 | 9 |
| On my old Mustang I bought one of those preformed plastic molded
dash covers. It cost $90 a new pad was $180. It fit very good
and with a careful installation looked and performed like a regular
dash pad careful scrutiny at the edges would show it was a cover
but I got many compliments on the dash after it was installed.
YMMV

130.5 | $250 for a repair? WHOA!!! | TROOA::GILES | | Thu May 12 1994 17:15 | 8 |
| re: -3
Mopar dashes run in the neighborhood of $80-150 for GOOD used ones for
A and B bodies. Color is insignificant since they can be satisfactorily
dyed. I also think someone is reproducing them, either Motor City Originals,
Year One or The Paddock. All are known for excellence.
