Yes, a crack in the dash pad can be repaired, but unless it is in a vey inconspicuous place, it will show. My 68 dash was brittle and cracking on both ends right at the top. The more I tried to repair it, the more cracks grew and showed. Last year when I had some interior work done, I decided it was time to replace it.

I'm going to let some of the guys that do multiple restorations tell you where to buy....

Good luck in whatever you decide! ;D

Just Dashes completed dashes look over stuffed or just down out fat. Best I have seen for 68 dashes hands down at a very affordable price is Al Knoch Interiors. When they first started doing them a few years ago it was only $125. Not sure what they are charging currently!
