Interior help

Post by dcducks1 »

I am looking to replace my dash pad and my arm rests but not having much luck. I did find a company called Just Dashes but they want $1200 for a dash and another $185 to color it blue for me. Thats a little steep right now. Any other options out there for dash pads and arm rests? Are there other armrests or door handles from different models that will fit/work?

What year and model? If it's a 65 a dash pad for a 64/65 falcon may fit. You can re-dye it yourself.

Ok I thought it might be a 65. Obviously 66/67 are different.

Seems to me I've seen replacement dash's for about $200 but they usually come in only a couple of colors. Armrests are available as well aren't they at Ecklers?

Sorry to take so long to reply. I bought a Dash Mat from Advance Auto for around $60. I was very impressed by the quality and cut of this product. You have to like a $60 fix for a $1500 problem. Don't think I will be replacing the dash pad anytime soon.

Pop, mine looks like it would be a pretty good ass whoopin to remove and replace. I'm not scared of a good ass whoopin, but the price is a little steep for a $2200 driver.

Im looking to replace the headliner and was wondering if anyone knows where the little trim can be found that goes along the front and rear windows. I can find the headliner material easy enough. Just cant find the trim pieces to finish the job!
