does anyone out there have any experience with dashboard repair? The dash on my car is all cracked up and the foam is disintegrating in several places and i was wondering if its repairable, and or worth repairing.
any advice would be appreciated!

Old car? Newer car? Talking about the dash pad up top (usually leather or vinyl.)?

If you can get the old off without much trouble, theres gotta be somewhere where you can order a new one...What year/make car?

sorry, i guess i should have been more specific.
The car is a 1969 fiat coupe (i know, i know, LOL). The problem with the coupes is that there are none of them around anymore so i cant easily get a replacement.
anywho, thanks for all the tips, i will try just dashes.

ps. 35delivery, i have given a metal dash serious thought believe it or not! LOL. I think it would just take more time and expertise than i have!!
