My stock dash top/pad is in horrible condition plus I need to do some paint and wiring work around there, so I removed it as well as the kneepad and dash fabric. Pics show where I am now. (Interesting how there's blue overspray on the metal dash and ravenna on the glovebox door - have heard about this factory mix-and-match syndrome before.)
This is a highly-modified and gutted car that right now is used almost 100% track-only but still street registered which helps for short test drives. The ventilation and radio were ditched years ago for example. But someday I may return the car back to a more streetable setup. I want to keep the dash functional, somewhat period-correct and cosmetically nice-looking but not necessarily all stock. Was thinking of keeping the stock 'pod' over the gauge area but eliminating the rest of the dash top and kneepad, and possibly covering it with perlon-type felt or alcantara fabric. Ideas? Pics of yours? Thanks! |

I don't have any pics of it, but I have seen a few that used the plastic dash covers.
