There's some good Black Friday deals out there on restoration parts

I saved 25% on dash bezels, a factory style tach and new lenses for my '68 convertible. No tax either. I never though I would pull the trigger on these parts, but my car sure did need them. The dash is such a huge part of a car's interior, and mine looked like crap.

Now I just have to swap them in along with a 150mph speedo I picked up. It will get me motivated to finish installing my A/C this winter.

Where did you get the tach at? I looked through P&Gs catalog. And could not find a repop tach.

BTW i bought my dash bezels, and gage bezels from laysons. They were really nice looking for restoration pieces. Not perfect, but nice for my car. I am sure that any time you get repop stuff you may end up with a blem, or have to massage pieces to fit a little bit.

I had to trim a little excess plastic around a turn signal hole, and out of the slots for heater control sliders, and it was a bit iffy fitting it to my metal gage housing. I had to rework the top of the new panel where the metal reinforcing plate is supposed to fit into it. However I think things like that are a little expected being this stuff is not NOS and the fact that the NOS ship has set sail more than a few decades ago.

My theory is, if you want NOS your gonna pay for it. Repop is a bit cheaper, may not be perfect, however it is way better than nothing.
