Some things stand the test of time better than others. But eventually, Mother Nature can break even the hardest rock, leveling the tallest mountains. If time and the elements can pulverize Granite, what do you think can happen to your Corvette's dash board?
. . . after a quarter century . . . and the elements constantly beating up vinyl parts, many headrests are finally showing the scars of battle. Split seams, cracking and warpage are common problems that, up until now, would require searching for a set of de cent originals and dying them the correct color.
Wrinkled, drooping, lackluster and old . . . we are referring to that unsightly original Mustang dashpad that you have been looking at for so long, but not doing anything about.
After having spent serious dollars in the past finding and redying a good original pad, only to have it eventually crack, this time I am having a total restoration done by Just Dashes. This way it will take another three decades of abuse before it needs another restoration.
If you're considering converting from crank up to power windows for your Challenger or 'Cuda, or vice versa, Just Dashes has the door panel solution to make the change easier.
Until now there was no way to match the same factory colors without installing a new interior kit. Just Dashes, the pioneer in concours quality vinyl interior parts restoration, now has introducted the "FADE AWAY" Interior Recoloring System, which will allow you to recolor your original interior parts at home.
Just Dashes is always happy when magazine editors drop by to talk restoration projects and bench race about their favorite cars. Recently, Dick DeLoach, senior technical editor of Lowrider Magazine and Ron Aguirre, a well-known southern California car builder and customizer, visited us.
Super Rod, a publication of Buckeroo Publishing, visited Just Dashes to create an article on the restoration of a well-worn center console.
Just Dashes is the only interior restoration company in the universe that can restore a complete Mopar interior, including the hard plastic parts like door and kick panels. Our reputation for concours quality is known world wide, so it was only natural for the editors of MOPAR MUSCLE to come to us for a dash restoration.
Jim Mattison, of the Pontiac Historical Society, is restoring a 1962 Pontiac Catalina and contacted Just Dashes to have his dash pad restored. We've worked with Jim before and know he's very particular about the cars he restores.
Restoring the dash and arm rests on the 911/912 models.
In the late Fifties most American car manufacturers moved away from sewn material upholstery for seats and door panels in favor of more durable vinyl. Dielectrically stamped, multi-colored and patterned door panels and seat covers were an instant success with the automotive consumer.
Brad Ocock, who works for Super Rod and Truck Builder magazines, returned to Just Dashes to cover the restoration of a '67 GTO/LeMans dash pad and our latest creation, a full dash pad with gauge pods for the 1968 through 1972 GM/GMC trucks.
