The dash in my 'stang is pretty beat up. Junkyard mustangs are hard to find around here..any suggestions on a replacement? I am talking about the whole thing.

Also, I have the 85mph speedo and would like the 140mph version. Any tips on that?

I have better resolution pics but I can't upload them since they are too big. I have seen others provide links to their photos but I didn't see any info in the FAQ.

For the pics. Open a photobucket account and upload them there. Then copy the url link and insert it into a reply so that others can click on it. Put the pics in a public album or people will need a password to view them.

Badhorsie raises a good point. I love every thing about my fox except for the cheap plastic dash.

Has anyone done anything creative with their dash? I'm thinking of maybe trying to cover it in leather or vynil or something. My '68 has a nice vynil dash so I thought maybe something like that might work

Anyone have any ideas???

there are products you can buy to repair, rebuild and even cover your damaged dash and there may be a repair shop in your area run a google search and contact some local auto body shops they can lead you in the right direction...
