Can you get one of those cheap carpet dash covers for it? They look a bit tacky but better than a wasted dash pad.
I don't want to. it had a vinyl cover on it, but that ended up peeling. As long as the pad isn't structural, I think I'm going to go ahead and remove it.

I removed the dash pad from my Coronet and welded up the holes. After painting with a "texture" black, you could never tell that it was ever padded.

Brian, I just replaced mine. New pad was well over $200.00. Mine wasn't to bad, just a small crack by the vin tag area. I sold the old pad for $100.00. You want to see what it looks like with the pad off, come on over and I'll show you the naked truth (car only of course). My pad really wasn't that bad, but since everything was all apart I sprung for a new one. Here take a look at my car now: www.hemibill.com Click on the "resto shop" (in blue, lower left), then the magazine cover with my car on it. Happy car pounding

pgclassic lists it at $195. I thought BEA was real close. Is the shipping expensive?

Shipping is what put it over the top. I don't remember the exact cost though.

Spring for the BEA pad, most wouldn't know one of thiers from an NOS original, VERY nice part for the money. FWIW the pads PG Classics sells are the same pads as BEA, the price difference is small between the two vendors, but the service difference is off the charts. www.beaparts.com
