i have a 72 cutlass supreme and need all of the a/c vents, dash bc mine is melted and a bunch of other dash parts. where can i get these? is there anything past the metal on the bottom? wno redoes the dash chrome? is the woodgrain diff for 70 71q 72? who redoes dash pads?

 

Just Dashes is the industry leader in recovering vinyl dash pads. Be advised, however, that it will be less expensive to find a good used one. The woodgrain is different on each year between 1970-72, so you either need the correct year or all the matching woodgrain for one year. The woodgrain is being reproduced. Not sure what you mean by "anything past the metal on the bottom", however. An A/C car would have had a plastic piece with outlets screwed to the bottom of the metal lower dash.

 

how expensive is it and what about the vents? anybody make them?

 

Don't know about the vents, but the cost to recover a dash is obviously related to the shape and size. A friend of mine recently got a quote of $900 for a Pontiac dash. I've bought complete parts cars with good dashes for a fraction of that.

 

No one makes the dash or vents.

Just go on the web (ebay) Copy and paste this search Last time I looked you could find whole dashes c/w air vents etc. If you find someone parting out a car, make them an offer on all the stuff you need. This search usually shows around 1000 or more items for sale in the related years. FYI 1970-72 uses exactly the same dash and AC vents.

The dash is basically 3 main components: The dash pad, the dash insert(left side in front of driver) and the glove box. You don't need to get the exact color for your car because every one of these parts can be dyed or painted to suit your needs.

For the silver trim around the lower area of the dash, it's not metal, it's plastic. Same thing with the silver trim on the AC vents. Something that works well to give it a nice silver look again is Elmers opaque paint markers. The color is silver argent. Cap looks like a dull silver but when you use it itcomes out looking like chrome. You can find these markers at most hobby shops; anywhere they sell plastic model cars etc. Hope this is what you're looking for.

If you're refering to the "bottom of the dash", it's not actually the dash. It's part of the cars front structure that holds the dash components.

What the heck happened to your car that it's all melted? Were you using it for a research project in the New Mexico desert with the windows rolled up?

 

Mike, I have some extra dashes and there may be others on the site that have them too. If used parts would work for you then post a parts wanted telling us exactly what you want (including color) and what part of the country your in (for shipping costs). John

 

Mike, 2blu442 (John) is a good guy who won't sell you any junk and his prices are very reasonable. I bet he has everything you need.

 

I can highly recomend Rocket Science in Lansing Michigan for dashes / parts for oldsmobiles from 62 - 87..course my opinion may b prejudicial...or lil late...
