Dash replacement part and carpet

[Foonkie90210]

Any suggestions on where I can get replacement parts, wanting to keep as original as possible.  Any suggestion to upgrade in general?

Modification is not an “upgrade.”  Leave it stock, perhaps except for radials when tires are needed

I have repaired a number of dashes. Its pretty simple to do and depending on what is going on you can most likely do so leaving it in the car. There are companies that specialize in them, just dashes is one that comes to mind. I would guess the repair would be 2-3k. Can be done in your home garage for about $100 worth of material. Not quite the same but it will look great for the most part.

 

Carpet? good question.  I suppose it depends on what it is, ACC makes most of the replacement auto carpets I have found, regardless of who is selling it. I have been looking for carpet for my trans am for 6 years now with no luck.
