    C2 Dash Pads- Which vendor has the best one?

    I'm Looking to replace both sides of an early 63 dash pads (pre 3200). From what I've read it's easiest to drill the rivets and remove the entire dash and replace both sides with the unit out of the car. I realize it can be done but with it in, but I have everything out of the car and this seems like the right time to do the dash since it's never been done and is starting to crack in areas.

    Anyone have recommendations on which of the vendors have the best dash pads?


    thanks!

    IMO removing the dash for this job is the only way to do it. I used Corvette America pads and they are quite nice; some say they're the best out there....the grain looks perfect to me (May 29th 1963 car). They went by regional judging and IIRC there were no deducts or possibly 1-2 points at most. The CA 63-64 vinyl dye matches the pad color precisely if you need to paint the dash frame as well. I managed to reuse all but about two of the original butterfly clips...

      If ordering new dash pads check with Wilcox. They offer discounts. They can supply CA or AK.
