instrument bezel/dash trim repair/replace

I am slowly repairing my way around my 1969 Olds 98 as I attempt to sell the car - I wish I had the room, but I can't keep 3 cars.

At any rate, the dash is good, but the plastic bezel around the gauges and the bottom wood-trim pieces need help. Some nut sack drilled a couple of holes for something.

JustDashes is great for the vinyl, but is no help for the chromed plastic and woodtrim pieces, or so I was told today, anyway.

Does anyone have suggestions for repairing those and refurbishing them?

I dont know about a 1969 but The Parts Place in Elburn, Il has everything you should need. Their number is (630) 365-1800. www.thepartsplaceinc.com

I've got a 1967 and a 1968 Olds 98 instrument panels. I don't know if 1969 was different or kept the same shape/design. John

I've discovered there are probably better sources for a new bezel and vinyl inlay. The vinyl from The Parts Place does not have any way to adhere it to the bezel but other sources have them with a metal backing that can easily be glued. You might try http://www.fusick.com/ if John's won't fit.
