Dash Pad. After Market or Have Restored?
I'm lucky enough to work at an aircraft repair facility with an interior shop. After getting the same negative vibes from Just Dashes that some others have reported (plus even higher prices since I wanted both upper and lower of a 68 Barracuda done) I asked them about it.
They filled all of the crackes and holes with an epoxy type Bondo, chemically cleaned al of the surfaces and glued Ultraleather over it. Apparently, it is standard practice for airplane glareshields.
The boys claim that any good interior shop should be able to do it for under $200 for the upper and another $200.00 for the lower. They did say that because Mother Mopar has so many compound curves on the Barracuda lower dash, the shop would probably have to order Ultraleather WITHOUT backing so that it can be stretched enough. I don't know what that might cost.
The only problem (unless you are looking for Concourse quality original matching) is that the ends have to be sewn and filled, this is visible if you look closely enough. On the Barracuda this only occurs at the steering column so it is almost invisible.
