Hi Bob,

I wish I could answer about the combination dash on a '68 but I'm only familiar with the '65-67 which is all metal. The metal dash is definitely two pieces but I don't know if they are welded together or can be easily separated. My dash is at the upholsterer's currently so I can't get a look at it.

My cost for the two blanks is around $65. That's a bit stiff for vinyl I think, but it's a special type with a very stretchable backing which allows it to be bent around the gauge surround without puckering. My upholsterer tells me a standard vinyl won't work and that the originals were made with a vacuum form. I'll have to charge $80 for the speaker holes and hope I sell all 10 sets in order to break even. I'm not trying to make any profit on this, just cover my costs.

Regards,
Jerry
