C1 Dash Pad

Re: C1 Dash Pad

You got yours from CA? You must have forgotten your previous post on the CF. -

"Its actually Romeo Engineering circa 2008 and it was a royal PITA to get installed. The curved portion around the dash insert is not correct and the part around the end caps were murder to deal with. However I trimmed almost NO foam off the rear of the pad which was nice."

OMG - you are soooo right!! It was the '63 CA coupe headliner I had so much trouble with. Thank you.
I don't like to ding a vendor mistakenly.... I'll delete the post !!! Senior moment for sure....

I've recently been told that Romeo Engineering has improved their dash pads BTW - but I have no personal experience with their new stuff!

Re: C1 Dash Pad

When we own cars a long time we sometimes forget things. I've installed 3, or was it 4?...... carpet sets in my '59 over the years. The first set was from Stoudt Auto Sales in the 80's and I'm guessing it was Al Knoch. Then a few ACC sets. Most recent about 3 years ago.

I have Dashpad samples from AK and CA.....I should get a sample from Romeo too for my records. I just feel that AK has the right grain, and sometimes it takes a little extra effort to work with them on the odd colors, like Turquoise.
