Dash restoration

[JC Childress]

My buddy has a 69 Super Bee that needs the dash redone. He has the rally cluster / bezels out of it....but what is the most simple way to make it look good again ? Doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, but nice, driver quality.

Contact Bob at ABCMoparts. He reproduces dash pads. His product is real nice.

If dash "caps" are available for your car, they're not bad.....decent anyway.

Pull the dash. You can't do a decent job with it in the car.

I appreciate the heads up, but I mean the whole dash...not just the dash pad.

Remove windshield and pull the entire dash.....If you have the skills you can restore it all yourself or have some parts done by the pro's. Then install as one unit fully assembled.

I agree with Moparnation.... I didn't realize you want to do the whole dash. Mark wires & parts carefully.

it looks like the arm rests are the 13" ones from my reasearch they should be the 9" ones but i'm no expert. I also agree that to do a good job the whole frame needs to be removed.
strip it down and start with refinishing the frame and go from there. if the lower pads are not cracked just clean them up good and dye them. the finish on the dash frame,steering column and upper windshield trim is a suede finish.

It was a Dodge Charger thing for the longer pads.....All others got the shorties...
