I am currently having 10 dash pads custom made for the early cars. I have a '65 which I am about to restore and have an original dash pad but the black vinyl is dried out and cracked. The early dashes had a pattern of small holes for the radio speaker but the punch is long gone so I researched and found a laser could duplicate the pattern perfectly. Sadly the cost of programming and setup was rather horrendous but the the actual cutting took little time. So I have stuck my neck out and am currently having 10 blanks cut. It's my hope that others will be in similar need and order some of the surplus. There are two pieces involved in the dash. The flatter section with the speaker holes and the molded section over the instrument gauges. The upholsterer selected a material which is so close to the original it's amazing but additionally it has a special backing which can be molded to the contours of the guage area Iif you're a professional). The flat sections should be done this week and the blanks for the guage area will be ready soon. Doing it this way, I can offer the blanks alone if you are a competent upholsterer or have access to one, or my guy can do the entire dash for you. If you're interested, please get back to me.
