Dash carrier resto
 
is there still anyone restoring the original 69 camaro dash carriers

Just my 2¢ from 49 years of '69 Camaros. I wouldn't bother. Originals were brittle 20 years ago; wiper switch pegs and the lower trim cover tabs usually broken off.

There have been two repros available for some time, both well-done.

I used Polyvance Plastifix to rebuild the bottom of the radio opening and knobs where it had been cut out. It also worked great on a cracked wiper switch stud, and a missing tab.

The steps for reconstructing a tab are shown in this vid




Their website has videos for other types of repairs. Pictures of mine below.

Studs are easy. Platifix can be applied in layers to reinforce these also.

The area where the bottom of the radio opening was cut out was also repaired using the molding putty.

I’ve had good luck with JB Plastic Bond, and it’s black.
