My 66 Belvedere

[440 4 speed]

Safety it first…Ontario is quite stringent on Classic Car certifications….dash and door skins to work/ replacement…

Very nice!

Have taken the dash out of the car…has anyone had experience with a dash cap? Who makes the best one?
Any help would be appreciated

also the dash around the gauges need work…I’m a rookie at this so I need some advise, pointers, how to’s, as to how to refurbish.

Welcome from Alabama, you didn't have to remove the dash from the car to install a dash cap. It glues on. You have to make sure that all surfaces are smooth. It can require some grinding of the original pad. If the dash is out of the car, why not just unbolt the pad and send it out for restoration. It may cost a little more, but well worth it. Just my opinion.

Did you take the whole dash out or just the cluster. If the whole dash it's easy to remove the pad. If just the cluster, you will need to remove the glove box to get to all the nuts.
