I need a dash

The car I'm working on has a pretty rusty dash, it's a 68 convertible and the lower 2" of the top dash panel is pretty much gone, does anyone know where I can find one? It doesn't look like the dash panel is reproduced for these cars yet.

Here is a link to an old thread that has some links to a Chevelle place that I used.

Not to Hijack thread...Hey Tom, we tried to use a Chevelle donor for my 70 442...but it was a long way from fitting. I didn't work it myself, that welding is not my forte. But my friend said it was not a good fit. How did yours go? perhaps we used the wrong source model? I have another one coming up & would love to be able to find a ready source that I can use. Thanks, Brett

I can't get any of those links to work. Does anyone know if the upper section of a 68 Chevelle dash is the same as the Olds?

Here is a new link (fingers crossed) for the chevelle site...
http://www.chevelle.com/1968-72-Wind...P6259C808.aspx
This is the one that I used on my 68 442. It did need some trimming at the ends to get it to fit right.
Here is a link to 21 pics when I did my fix on photobucket...it has been acting weird lately...Hope these links work this time.

I found my replacement from a 4 dour grage queen. All but the hieght of the windshield is the same up front fro the swap from the 4 door to 442. Just a lot of not cuttng the parts you need and cleaning the parts you need to keep.
