Why swap when you can wrap?


After seeing what it takes to pull a dash from the 67 cutlass, I decided to say "**** that" and got some pleather and glue from a craft store and wrap my cracked dash. I know it's not show quality, but looks a hell of a lot better than how it was.

Btw, if anyone needs a good condition dash, I've got one with a small dent in it.

I have dashmat on my cracked dash. I kinda like it- so much that for the 5 years ive had the car ive not bothered to change uncracked dash that i have in place of it.
Maybe they have one available to yours aswell?

Idk how you did. I slice my hand open pretty well just trying to get all the stuff for the glove box. My car has AC and a bunch of stuff added to the dash from several owners, so it was also a mess I really didn't want to mess with.

I know it's not great, but looks tons better than how it looked before. If I rolled down both windows and went over 50mph, id get dusted by the foam in the dash falling apart.
