Does anyone know where to find a re-pop dash pad/cover for my '67 Fatback? Or, is there a way to repair/recover the cracked & curled original?
Thanks

I'm not sure if anyone makes a plastic glue-on cover for the 67, but a good upholstery shop could make a new vinyl, or leather cover. The upholstered cover would have seems in places. Just Dashes can restore your dash pad with a vacuum formed vinyl cover, just like original. The later options are not cheap, but would probably be the best looking result.

Thanks 70XL, I do happen to have a pretty good upholstery guy I had planned to do my seat covers and door panels. I'll have to see what he thinks about the dash pad once I get him to look at the car.
This first car is a resto-mod and I'd planned to change the interior to all black anyway, so there's no need for keeping it original. But the second Galaxie will be all original so I may have to look into Just Dashes for that one.
