The idea of replacing an old top with one just as old seems a bit futile to me.

The idea is to give the OP different ideas on how to deal with what he terms, a difficult task.

We now return control of this thread to the OP.
Every single molded cover goes seemlessly to the edge & hides all damage? Every manufacturer?

The idea of replacing a factory dash (entire dash, not just the top) that is sun-damaged or broken w/another factory dash that has not been exposed to sun damage or other damages seems pretty logical to me. You know the OE dash is going to look, work, & fit just like your old broken OE dash.

With that said, I will again say thanks for the info & links provided during the discussion about "replacing a cracked dash".

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
