1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
The Legendary dash pad fit very good (it should for the price, even at the huge discount Classic gave...). There are metal plates embedded in the pad so just drill a pilot hole where the original had the screw (on the upper left) and snug it down.
Also the glove box door was a puzzle for some reason. I had to go out in the cold and look at the original dash a couple times before I could get that damn hinge correct....
Finally figured it out. I left the backside white epoxy so when you are working under the dash it should be nice a bright under there.
What did I do before I had a bench top bead blaster cabinet..... Ashtray cleaned up nicely.
Dash pad is nice and snug to the frame.
Aftermarket glove box hole for the light lens was a bit too big. I wrapped the tabs with some pin stripping tape then cut the straight sections out to make it fit a bit more snug in the cardboard hole.
Just like a new car!
Painted the black defroster vents with Herbs Interior Paint ('72 Bright Blue with his adhesion promoter). It is the weirdest paint I have ever seen but it does work really well. Notice how well it matches the dash pad.
Lastly the AC vent bracket installed.
