Guys thanks for reading. I've been looking around to see if there are some repop parts for the dash frame. The frame around the window and everything that holds the dash to the body is pretty much rusted out and toast
I'm thinking I'm, not the only one to ever see this. My question is, what is the best way to handle this issue? Are there repop parts for these areas?

 

I know the lower windshield area is reproduced. The actual dash area behind it is not. That will have to come from a donor car.

 

@66SportCoupe Thank you for that. Im going to have to keep my eye out for a donar car. You wouldnt happen to have a link for the lower windshield part, would you?

 

I've got a usable windshield frame from a 1967 hardtop. Since you have a convertible I'm thinking you just need the dash portion. I can get some pictures if you'd like to see if my piece would work for you.

Hate to say it, but you might want to choose another project car. If the dash is that bad, what else could be hidden?

 

@2blu442 That'd be great! very much appreciated.

 

@66SportCoupe Thank you

 

Here's the piece I have. I wired brushed the windshield channel on the dash this morning and did have two holes open up. There is pitting but I still think this would be a good candidate to fix and use. Its the complete windshield frame and dash from a 1967 2 door hardtop car with AC. If you wanted the whole thing the price would be $250 plus shipping. I like to use a sawzall in dismantling sheetmetal due to the small kerf and loss of material. To reduce shipping costs I'd be willing to cut the piece up into agreed upon sections. If you decide you don't need the whole thing let me know what you do want, if there's parts left I could sell I would come down on the purchase price for you. Also let me know if you'd like to see closeups of any areas. I dropped my camera a while back and now the right side of pictures is out of focus, oops! John

 

Then here's photos of the windshield frame.

 

Then a few more of the firewall and interior dash.

 

The lower area where the holes opened up would be replaced by reproduction piece.

 

John , if 66CutlassVert does not want that gutter and dash piece please put me in line for it..

 

Will do. If he does take it I've got three 1964 Cutlass firewalls from parts cars. Not sure the condition on them, but I can dig through and take pictures of the best one for you.

 

@2blu442 My apologies. I actually got Covid around this time. I vaguely remember looking at the message and going back to sleep. I just now seen it again. Im going to hold off for that project for now.

 

Good idea. Glad you're feeling better.

 

Yes, glad you doing better. I hope your 100% soon if your not already.
John
