75 Upper Dash Pad

[Sean D. Philippe]

I stupidly threw away my Upper Dash Pad (UDP) then found out that they can be restored as I got further into my resto.

I am looking for sugestions on where to find low cost dash pads that can perhaps be restored. Or, should I just bite the bullet and buy new for $400?

Re: 75 Upper Dash Pad

Sean,

Depends on the color of your interior. Black is virtually the same from 69-76. Other colors "may vary." The biggest problem I found is that in the majority of those I've seen at swap meets, the small holes above the radio speakers have big cracks between them.

Check with The Last Detail (www.tld-corvette.com) if you want a new one for less than $400. The dash pads are made by Al Knoch or Corvette America currently.
