Ken, when you get the repro out could you post a side by side picture so we can see the difference?

Thanks,
Steve

The New pad is in and installed..........Here are a couple of pic's of the Molded Repro Pad......they are pretty rigid as it is molded and the final shape is such than when installed the ends won't stay in place and get squeezed out of position........I'll take some pics later of the new pad installed.......

Before .......With that &quot;Awsum&quot; Repro Dash Pad




After..........OEM Just Dashes Restored pad




As you can see the painted Dash is not exactly the right color.......And I was reprimanded by the person that restored this car for ruining a perfectly restored car...........I guess it all depends what the meaning of &quot;Perfect&quot; is......LOL.........I may get around to repainting it the correct color someday...........And then again......LOL.....Too much fun driving it.......

I am jealous, you had a 60* day ! The dash color is fine, agree will Albert, they did not always match 100%.
