I've had two dashes done for Alfa Romeo GTV's, the last one was on my 1971 1750 and it was a complete redo, just Dashes" did an excellent job, I highly recommend them.

The "Just Dashes" website says they redo Pantera dashes. Have no idea
about their quality.
YMMV

Come to think of it I recall seeing dash caps available for the
Pantera, I just cannot recall where I saw that at present. It's just
a
glue on dash overlay that the front edge wraps into the exisitng
gauge
panel area.

You might try calling the company called "Just Dashes" and see if they
offer via
ble solutions for Pantera owners.

I had a Corvette with a cracked dash and repaired it with one of the
specialist
kits. My experience was it took some learning to reproduce anything
like the ori
ginal wrinkle pattern and even when I became proficient it was still
visible as
a fix. More importantly it didn't hold up here in NV as the sun got to
the dash
the two plastics had different thermal expansion and it cracked along
the filled
edge.
I would recommend you go for recovering, get it done with leather (or
leatherett
e) with French seams and it will look awesome.
