I know it has been covered here before but who sells the best fitting repo dash pad for a 1971 chevelle. I know everyone says to restore an original but Im having difficulty finding a good one and want to know if anyone has found a replacement that fits good

Original is always best, keep looking, one will eventually show up. When I was looking I was on probably the 20th google search page and found a place in Washington state. Called the guy up, I had it in about a week. Paid 50 bucks, was like new. All I had to do was paint it. Good luck.

Hello George. Your pad was delivered today at 11:19 AM. If you see this post and you are also waiting on a pad please do not panic. Your pad is in the works and will be completed soon. The weather here is still crappy. It has been very cold and humid. I need warm dry days to spray these. Sorry for any delays.

Two more of my restored stereo dash pads were received today. I am starting to catch up on projects somewhat. Now on to some SS dash housings/ carriers for some of our members. The weather here in Wisconsin is starting to get warmer. This makes working in the shop much easier. To any of you who are still waiting on something, I thank you for your patience. Have a great weekend.

Interested in how the Ausleys pad fits and looks. Talked to them recently at a swap meet and they said they don't have any complaints. (sure) He said that they are actually 2 different manufactures for the mono and stereo dash. I have several originals in various conditions but don't know what way to go. The dash pads realred has shown look great. Don't know what the secret is with the pricing. Maybe a forum thing. Like what's a ballpark price? Crack repair? Speaker hole repair? Refinish?
