Anyone ever redo the dash cap on a Dart?

Long time ago there was a "Show us your jacked up dash pad" thread. Yours wouldn't win but it's definitely a top 5 contender. LOL
This is another one of those "snowballing" tasks. Once the inst' panel and glove box liner are pulled... You have to consider wiper pivot seals, new linkage bushings, maybe new defrost tubes, lube speedo cable and any heat control cables.
A member like me will give you a better looking inst bezel for the cost of shipping. The chrome is gone but the woodgrain looks good.
You may as well throw a solid state regulator along with all new bulbs and sockets at the inst' panel while you're there. Clean the gauge screens and repaint the needles if needed.
Just soooooooo much crap about a dash. One issue after another. We don't want to go there repeatedly.
A note about dying... Any color can be changed to black. When changing black to another color, you'll get better results if you go to a neutral base color first. I use SEM products and sometimes have custom color mixed. My base coat is whatever light sand/beige off the shelf they have.

LOL top 5 huh... hey at least I placed!!! Thank you for the response, I appreciate it!! Ummm... what chrome? I haven't seen a picture yet of an original unmodified 1973 Dart Custom dash to compare mine to unfortunately. I am still looking for one which shows detail.
Actually the wood grain is toast on the left side of the speedometer. I touched it and the paint flaked off so now it has an odd shaped bright shiny silver metal spot there. For just a moment I actually thought about removing the rest of the wood grain paint but am afraid it would blind me when the sun hits it.
I am hoping to keep the same green or as close as I can get to it for the vinyl.
And, I am not in a big rush to complete everything at once so at least I can take my time and watch the classifieds in the forum to see what becomes available.
