Are there companies that refurbish/restore/refinish these?

Thanks,
Brian

I don't know what you are looking for but BEA has repops, this might be something to consider... but I do not think they have them for 68 though...

We're on the 68 as I type.

Repops are fine with me. I have the lower tray type section, I actualy have 2 in great condition. It is the upper piece that needs help, but I thought 67-76 were all pretty much the same?

A 67 or a 69-76 pad put on a 68 car will be pinched on the edges. Someone did that to my 68
Barracuda and the edges got rippled on the vinyl.

The 67 Dash has a thin front edge to it. And an indentation/shelf/ridge on top back from the edge.

The green pad pictured below is a 68. The Maroon is a 69-76 pad

I called Just Dashes for my '73 pad restoration, over $500. I've heard that they cannot get the vinyl grain to match the original.
Or:
BE&A Parts has a PERFECT reproduction '69-76 pad for $225, hmmmmmm, which one should I choose? I ordered it and am 100% happy.

I see the difference now. Hmm, maybe the one I have is not that bad for a driver. I need to pull them back out and do some comparing.
