66 442 reproduction dash pad
#3
Well The Parts Place $279 and OPGI $273 are the two I was looking at figured there were others. I'm leaning toward OPGI it comes with the mounting hardware has a steel insert to keep it's shape however this is only on top the original pad had a steel insert on the bottom apparently it's a little weak until you install it. They also clam it has the correct grain but it isn't you need to purchase the glove box door in order to match the grain. This is what I found as OPGI has a feedback section there were only three one rated it a 5 the other two rated it a 4 on a scale of 5.

I have restored a 66 and a 67 Instrument panel and installed them using both OPGI and Parts Place Pads.They look great .I would recommend removing your Glove Box cleaning both it and the new pad with denatured alchohol and painting both the glove box and the new pad with an SEM product prior to installing them.The lustre is going to be different in the grain if you dont.Now yje tough decision.Who has better customer service between the 2 ..OPGI or Parts Place..I am taking the 5th on that one..
