73 Imperial Dash

["Mel Wyshynski" <mvwyshy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am completely restoring my 1959 LeBaron and had the dash redone by Just Dashes. It was returned to me last Friday (June 18/04). My first impression is very good. They appear to have done an excellent job. They also padded the horn ring.

Yes they are expensive. Expect to pay something north of $1000 (and they only do the padding).

Hello list,

The dash on my 73 has cracked and peeled back pretty bad (it gets HOT here in Oklahoma) and I was wondering how would be the best go about fixing it. As I see it, I have a few options.

 

1. Go to Just Dashes (or another vendor)and get a new one made and shell out some bucks

2. Try to find one in a salvage yard, clean and paint it black (if not already black)

3. Try to find one from a "sister car" such as a New Yorker (would they fit?)

 

What do you all think? Has anyone done the Just Dashes thing?

 

Terry in Tulsa         Mick here   there is a dashboard restorations in portland now. They will redo your vinyl and foam . I don't know how much as I don't think they have done a 73 before .But that is no problem.I haven't herd any thing good about just dashes.Just do a search dashboard restorations the web site is in Australia.Good luck Terry         Mick 58 coupe
