Does anyone restore lower dash pads?

[jeryst]

The lower dash pad on my 69 Roadrunner has cracks in it, and the switch plate looks terrible.
I can find replacement switches and buttons, but no switch plate or lower dash pad
It appears that no one makes reproductions.

Is there anyone that restores them?

Unless they have changed in the last few years they can do it but can't repo the stitching.
Post up if someone finds differently.
I might send them my spare.

Just Dashes did my lower dash pad for my 68 Charger. I just got them back last week after sending them off back in January.

I too have had dash pads done there. Correct they do not replace Stitching paid high price and corners bare curved not square. I will eventually sell them as i had them dine in black and not the original color. So i found the correct originals and bought them.

I sent mine out to Just Dashes back in 2014. As far as I know they still are not able to do the stitching but IMO are the best out there. Mine were warped and becoming unwrapped. Here are some pics of what I sent them and what the look like now. Except for the lack of stitching, I am pleased with them. Just be aware they are slow and spendy like the rest of our hobby.

I would have kept the original pads. I don't see any cracks? What was your problem you spent so much money on the dash pads? The green looks very very nice to me.

I’m having mine done at Not Just Headrests . Now keep in mind mine are pretty good , getting a little tlc and a re dye. Bill is a super cool guy. I hunted for some that were pretty good before I sent them out. He is about an hour from me , he did my headrests for my rag top. Nice work and a fair price. I was really wondering about having them stripped and redone by a dash company but I kept hunting for better ones. He doesn’t strip and replace the vinyl and foam that I know of you need a vacuum machine to wrap the vinyl around the material and frame.

My problem was they were all warped and becoming unwrapped from the metal frames. They no longer fit the rest of the dash leaving gaps at the edges. Same with the door panels that were not up to my standards. Good enough for the shivy guy that owned it before me though. Pictures don't always tell the whole story. Too many mis matched colors and wrong parts for my taste.

Also, he repainted the car black with a black interior.

Ok. I can now see the 'problems' you had...
