steve, poor mans version. I scuffed mine with 400 wet/dry, sprayed with chrome, argent and black semi flat. I take and separate all lenses from the frames and the buttons also using a light soldering iron to heat the plastic. polish the lenses with a headlight restorer followed up with 3m polishing compound the lenses look new. it take awhile as I wait several days between colors and taping. I use a q-tip to dab the heater control, headlight and wiper lettering and bezel out line. I dab the 3 centers lightly with paper towel since paint covers the spiral design in them. it looks night and day better but not perfect. add re-wrapping the nichrome wire, soldering the pcb pins, cleaning gauge faces. less than $50.
find an old wasted broken dash frame cut the broken piece out of it and 2-part epoxy it. in fact I have a 68 face that is screwed up ill mail that piece to you when I have some time this week.

Hey John, thanks for the offer, but Im using a 69 that isnt broke, its a good one lets hope I keep it that way!!

not sure if this could help Steve, but my local hobby shop as a kit that you can buy some sort of plastic resin that you might help if you are missing any plastic parts missing or needs repair. Send me a pm, i can look into getting you some if you can't find it in your area.. good luck

Hey Mike, Im using/found a good bezel with no breaks/cracks. The bezel orig pictured in the beginning of this thread is long gone. That gives me an idea though, we have a hobby shop in town, I might check in with them as to a "plastic cleaner" before using the "adhesion promoter"

Thanks guys!!
