Anyway to repair cracked dash?

Any way to fix this? It's so brittle as it is now, if I touch it with any amount of pressure, it cracks. I think I originally cracked it when I put the HUD in.. it's all been downhill since then.

Yeah, most good automotive retailers will carry a dash repair kit. Its generally a liquid vinyl stuff that you spread on wait for it to dry a few minutes and then press a patch of vinyl over it to give it the correct texture. The stuff is a major PIA to work with and it tends to get everywhere except where you want it to, kinda like working with super glue. If you can't find it at any parts stores ask a local body shop, they'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

You should be able to take it in to a shop to be repaired, it's not to expensive and they do an awesome job.

 

My uncle had the original dash of his '70 Le mans convertible fixed and you can't tell it was cracked and he didn't have it painted.

 

I'd have to ask him who did it but I don't that'd matter for you anyway.

 

A restoration or hot rod shop might be a good place to start looking.
