Restoring a 78 TA Y88. As you can imagine a lot of work. I have interior issues. First and foremost, the DASH is in bad shape. I can’t find a suitable replacement. Does anyone know of a repair kit or method that will not diminish the car’s value???
-
I saw youtube videos on repair kits, but I was going to buy a molded plastic cap to put over mine, they have them on ebay and alot of the firebird trans am parts sites and catalogs I'm sure
-
I "think" repro dashes are available (again)...check the aftermarket parts catalogs/sites.
Just Dashes also restores old dashes...but they are fairly $$

Thanks for the info. Repo dashes are on long backorder. I may order overlay from F Body Whse. Said it comes with lifetime warranty against cracking

I just got the new retooled dash pad from National Parts Depot. It is the OER part. Been going through the installation the last two days. Overall I am very surprised how well it fit and I have not been able to find any cosmetic issues at all. In fact, I did not install the passenger side handrail because it looked so clean without it.
I am taking photos and reporting back to the General Manager of the FL National Parts Depot. Apparently I may have one of the first ones?? Have not put the swirl bezel on yet because I have a small ground strap I have no idea where it goes. Everything else is mostly complete. I will let you know if something comes up but so far so good!

Any chance you know where this goes?

I'm glad to hear the dash is a good piece..post some pictures and info on it when you can.
The picture is the headlight switch to gauge cluster ground strap.
