I think you could have put red duct-tape on that old dash and it would have looked 1000% better. 

The new one looks just plain awesome!   :drool:

Looks great.  Can you give a ballpark $$$ on the restoration?

Thanks for comments. Just wanted to know what do you think about this pad. This is made in Sweden and is first Cuda pad made by http://www.autoline.se

I paid about 1.000 usd. For us Europeans it's cheaper than ordering from USA.

it does look good; its usally the finer details that most restored dashes seem to lack. Like the AC vent fitments, the ends where it mates up to the lower metal dash, the inset around the VIN, etc. Still looks very good. I wish price point on the dash restorations was cheaper. Guys like me end up going with the more economical dash cap solution.

Wonder how they do that anyway? Do they glue it, cover it, then vacuum bag it or what?  :clueless:
