I had to change out my dash frame on my '68 GTX...reason?...'cause the other one had been hacked up by the radio. I could have probably fixed it because it's hidden, but the replacement frame was so clean that I couldn't resist painting it up and using it. I didn't "document" anything....Whoever ends up buying it after me will just have to believe my story as to why the Rosette rivets have been changed. OK...now I'm ready for the verbal abuse...!!! LOL

NOTHING , the seller thinks he is King Midas and that those rivets he had left over from a gutter job 20 years ago are gold ... he used to sell them for 30 a pr , then 35 , now 65 ...

Use a thin layer of epoxy to attach the tag/rivet heads to the new dash. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

I'm keeping the old dash frame in case there's ever a question. It's pretty obvious that the tornado made it useless. Last edited by 7812845; 10/20/13 11:30 PM.
