Where can I get a dash cover?

Hi, My name is Rudy. I have a 77 Salon with a cracked dash.
Does anyone know where I can get an ABS plastic overlay or,
a replacement dash. I have heard that the 77 is a one year only dash. Can someone shead some light?

Rudy, please don't hi-jack other's threads. I moved your post to a new thread and a different forum.

If you want a cover for your dash you should be able to get one at the local auto parts store, or from an on-line supplier:

Most dash covers I've seen are velour. If your dash is significantly damaged they are a cheaper alternative to having your dash redone professionally.

Isn't the link to Just Dashes an actual "new dash?" I've only heard good things about them. If you want to replace a damaged dash they are the way to go.

Correct, that's got to be north of $1200.00 by now. They do great work, I used them on my 71 convertible for a pillars and dash.

If you're dash isn't too damaged I've heard of guys using liquid nail to fill the cracks. I believe Rob did this with his Cutlass. After the liquid nail cures you can sand and paint it. From what I recall it did a pretty good job.

Hi, does anyone have some experience to share with those plastic overlays offered by OPG, Year One etc.? get what you pay for i guess but $1200 for Just Dashes is way out of my budget for just that one piece.

I'm not sure about the covers offered by OPG or Year One but I know the ones availabe from auto parts stores and on the internet are decent. The price is decent at least.
