70 Challenger Dash Pad (Repair or Replace) ?

70 Challenger Dash Pad (Repair or Replace) ? - 06/29/10 06:49 PM

I've done a lot of research regarding (several) suppliers and restorers of E-Body Dash Pads (Just Dashes, Ultimate Rides, Year One, etc) but the one I was optimistic about (Ultimate Rides from El Paso, Tx) seems to no longer be in business. At least the phone number (877-327-4723) is no longer valid.

1.) Has anyone ever tried restoring their own Dash Pad (repairing the cracks, filling in and painting) ?

2.) Does anyone know if Ultimate Rides is still in business and is there a good contact number or email address ?

Thanks in advance
Mike

3. Pray that some one else starts making them correctly

I'm going with Option 3

I've seen some similar comments here in different threads .

Since my dash pad is cracked too - I wonder what the issue is with the ones that are offered on the market??? Are they bad or just not correct?

Yes with the cheap vinyl repair kits. Fill the crack, color match the plastic, apply and iron. They never lasted more than a short time if you get the pattern grain matched. Don't bother

Nope, I used Just Dashes with a steel core I provided. The dash is very nice, orange, 3 speaker with air. The only issue is the stitching is not great.

Thanks in advance
