Title: 69 camaro dash bezel
Post by: Tgarvey on March 20, 2007, 01:39:27 AM

I have a nice dash bezel, the 2 tabs above the speedo are broken off with half the tabs still there and one under the steering column, which I have the pc. Is there anyone out there that restores them? And if so where?

I would also like to put in a clock in the center of it, how is this done, the center pc looks to be all part of the bezel.

any help from anyone.

Thanks
Tom

you would have to cut it out. it is one piece. If you go on ebay you can find that already had a clock, a center fuel gauge, or it was out of a columne shift car.

I don't know of anyone that restores them. I had to rebuild mounting tabs on mine with JB Weld. There was a physically challenged man in Ohio Henry Estheimer,  that restored the chrome highlights. Last time I called he was sick in the hospital for quite a while and not working anymore.

Update; Because of this thread I decided to call and see how Henry is doing. He has gotten better and is doing the chrome highlights again. He does very nice work. The only way to put the chrome back on the dash to look factory. I am sending my gage cover tomorrow.
