Guest dipstik Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Does anyone know where I can find some replacement ribbed dash metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 No one is reproducing it so your only option is finding used replacements. These are very difficult to remove without causing damage as they were glued on at the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbuff2 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I replaced with clean used ones, gauges included unable to remove. Have fun. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Mckenzie Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I don`t know why the aftermarket hasn`t made these, there seem to be a need. A cnc router could be programmed to knock the shapes out easily . My guess is the availability of the ribbed (?) aluminum . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dipstik Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks fellas. I was hoping it would be my lack of searching the right sites. Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric's.64.Superwildcat Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I saw this post a few weeks ago. It appears to be the ribbed dash finish for the '63 or '64. You might want to take a look. http://forums.aaca.org/topic/264618-gauge-cluster-aluminum-trim/ Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRiviera Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I had good luck removing the ribbed aluminum from my dash with a heat gun. I used the type of heat gun that painters use to remove old paint, it gets really hot. I applied heat direct to the aluminum, the glue softened and I was able to slip a putty knife between the plastic and aluminum and I successfully removed the aluminum.

sixxer Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hey just saw this thread, sorry guys they are gone. The thread I had I just updated. Nobody wanted them here for free - ended up selling them on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
