I am looking for a few instrument panels for 1966 or 1967 Cutlass /442
to repair replate and detail.

 

I wish I wasn't so far from you. I am in the process of restoring mine.
Do you have coloured pictures of the dash you could share with me.

Thanks
Pat Mills

 

You know there is a slight difference in the 66 and 67 right?

 

I have one or two of the housings for the guages (guage bezel)....not the complete plastic part all the way across. These are for floor shift cars as they have the blanked-out/filled-in area where the gear indicator window would be on a column shift auto.

 

RRoth are you needing one for yourself or just to work on?


Pat are you looking for colors?
If so you can get the silver and black paint from crappy tire a perfect color match
I will have to look up the paint codes though..

 

I am close to having a sellable dash available
.I have a plater here in Detroit ,he strips them for me ,I take them back and make the repairs.The mounting ears on the ends are almost impossible to fix.I have made templates and still havent had much success.
I take every nut and screw off soak them in acetone .run them through the tumbler to knock off all of the rust and scale.
After they are Replated I have had great results with Duplicolor Acrylic Enamel.
Semi Gloss Black and Aluminum,that is the right paint for the job.Dries quick and adheres to the clear coated plating.
I blast the metal on the gauge bezels Repaint them with the Semi gloss Black and the backs with a light blue enamel.I have the numbers stripped from the lense face.And have perfected a way to repint the numbers temps and polish them to a brand new finish.
I had a very bad experience with a company that ripped me off so bad I decided to start up a small service by myself.I will eventually pick one out for my car .I currently have 4 IPs and 7 or 8 gauge bezels ready for detailing.

 

Pat I am close .The right paint is Dupli Color Aluminum Acrylic Enamel and Dupli Color semi Gloss black Acrylic Enamel.All of my dashes are replated .I havent had the time or the temperatures to paint yet.

 

Patton .
I would be very interested in buying those from you.How Much?

 

That was the second lesson I learned on these dashes.
The first was... dont send money to an Idiot in Tulsa Oklahoma.

 

I did mine on my 67 and it came out quite nice. I have two blanks and a couple of the filler panels for column shift cars. I will look at condition and let you know. I know that some of the mountion tabs are broken though.

 

rroth how much is the replating fee if you don`t mind me asking?

 

Let me know how they look and if you have some pictures that would be great.
The mounting ears on the ends are trouble.
