Looking at Replacing the Cracked Dash Panel

You can have the best paint job and nicest upholstery in the world, but a cracked dash panel can ruin the look of your muscle car. If your muscle car has a cracked or otherwise damaged dash, it’s hard to stomach (trust us, we’ve been there). To make matters even worse, it’s not just you who has to look at it. You have to live with the idea that every time you ride with the top down, or someone walks by your car in admiration, they might lock in on that damaged dash panel since they’re visible from the outside of the car too. No matter how meticulously restored and maintained your muscle car might be, it can look pretty rough with a damaged dash panel.

Then there’s the issue of trying to get decades old gauges to work properly. Maybe you have a dead gauge, maybe they work but only some of the time, or maybe they’re just not accurate. If you can’t count on your gauges, that’s a problem — after all, they’re there for a reason. Your car essentially communicates with you via the gauges on the dash panel, if you ignore them, it could be a death sentence for your muscle car — if nothing else, you’re probably going to end up with a speeding ticket.

It’s okay, you’re certainly not alone, but a fix is needed to restore the damage. So where does this leave you? What are the solutions for damaged dash panels or trim, or those with faulty gauges?

You may be tempted to try out some of the DIY dash restoration products out there, but those do very little to fix anything. Unless it’s a top coat finish issue you’re having, even most professionals aren’t going to be able to help you — this is especially true with cracked materials and dead gauges. If you really want to fix your dash panel, there’s not really any repair product out there to help.

Be it a functionality issue, or visible damage, there are some replacement options for muscle car owners — certainly quite a few more than for those who own late-model cars. The problem is, you can end up worse off than when you started with a lot of dash panels, especially if you buy from a company that outsources their work overseas.

The CD dashes are currently available in three flavors: Matte Black, Brushed Aluminum and Carbon Fiber.

One name we constantly see as a recommendation (straight from their customers) is Classic Dash. Often noted for their fitment, quality, options, etc., we’re fans of Classic Dash here at Timeless Muscle. We had to find out more about what makes them different and why our readers should check them out. After talking with Greg Wambold, the President of Classic Automotive Specialities (Classic Dash), we learned that a lot goes into making perfect dash panels, it’s no easy task.

It’s important to note that all of the making of the molds, dash panel manufacturing, etc. is made in-house at Classic Dash. There processes aren’t outsourced, the panels aren’t flown in from some oversea’s manufacturer — they do it all at their facility. From the research into which dash panels they need to make molds for, to the packing and shipping of their final product, it’s all done by the Classic Dash team.

Each mold cools for 10 hours after being formed, to ensure perfect fit and accurate dimensions.

Since 2002, they’ve been working out of a state-of-the-art facility in Carson City, Nevada. They are regarded by many as a pioneer in the molded ABS composite dashboard market. This is thanks to their process, materials used, and equipment. It all has to come together perfectly to make the best dashes, and they seem to have it all ironed out pretty well. They currently offer around 70 applications, but they are adding to that list as demand grows.

“Before we decide to start offering any application, there has to be a certain level of demand. We log shopper requests and searches, and if the market needs the product, that’s when we’ll start to put the process in motion.” – Greg Wambold, President of Classic Automotive Specialties

To make a mold for a single application, Classic Dash invests about 500 hours into the process. Most of this time is spent focusing on the design aspects — design takes about 4-6 weeks per every new mold they decide to make.

In order to ensure every single dash panel fits perfectly, they begin by cutting an original dash out of a donor car. These cars come from junkyards and insurance auctions. — they don’t just take a perfectly good car and chop it up. After the dash is cut out of the donor vehicle, they remove the gauges, all of the plastic parts, and trim, then take over 50 different laser scans to get the design to input into their software. The scans are intended to be turned into a solid, where they’ll be manipulated, shaped, and revised for their end part.

“Scans are taken from every possible angle of the of the factory dash to make sure we capture every dimension for the mold.” -Greg Wambold

On most panel applications, the speedometer and tachometer provisions are enlarged to accommodate a larger aftermarket speedo and tach. Classic Dash is an authorized Auto Meter dealer, so their panels are made specifically for the Auto Meter line. However, they are available without any gauges, so you can use whichever brand you like, as long as it’s the right size for the hole.

Classic Dash doesn’t change any part of the dash panel that actually touches metal in the vehicle, this is because they want to ensure that it fits the application exactly. A lot of other dash panel manufacture’s try to get creative in this area, and just end up creating fitment issues for their customers.

Several days worth of machining go into each mold, this is to ensure the best possible shape dash panel. After the final trimming, the molds are test-fitted to make sure no further changes are needed.

“Through the technologies we use, the CNC router is able to make each panel within 5/1000ths of the original each time.” -Greg Wambold

Once the initial mold is made, their CNC router is able to duplicate this mold time and time again to near perfection. Each dash panel meet ridged quality standards before it is packed up for inventory.

These ABS composite dashes are UV resistant and will last through many years, decades even, to come. Most applications are available with dash panels finished in matte black, brushed aluminum, or carbon fiber so you can either do a direct swap out, or add a little touch of customization. There’s also a massive amount of choice when it comes to the Auto Meter gauges available for your dash panel. Check out the variety and options with each muscle car application.
