[DeTomaso] Late Model Dash

[Scott Mead Photography]

I used Eastwood’s plastic repair kit (https://www.eastwood.com/plastex-rigid-plastic-repair-kits.html) on my dash years ago. It filled and stopped the crack in its tracks. The repair was noticeable (you can’t really mimic the original finish) if you looked hard enough. Now that it’s covered in leather, you’d never know the repair was done.

Ultimately, I plan on having the dash upholstered exactly like the one in the black ’79 that was just sold (I believe Mike Drew provided the link).  In the meantime, I’d like to stop the crack-creep without causing irreparable harm, like using a glue that eats it away instead of solving the problem.  I’m not as concerned about the appearance for now as I am saving the dash.
