Dude this is funny, because I stripped my dash almost ten years ago and I welded a tiny skid plate to the center and had the first gen I pad on that. I still have that dash in my garage. I wish I could upload a photo on this comment.

Hmm any idea of the 88-98 dashes are same way? I was gonna just build a dash out of metal but I like your idea better

Haven't ever tried any other models. But you can usually get the dash pads for like $10 at a junk yard. Could be worth a little experiment

Are you able to reinstall the trim on the dash, and do you have to clear coat it or paint it. Thanks for any answers.
@half-assedgarage1459 3 жыл бұрын
you can still mount the trim. but you may need a washer on the backside to spread over the hole as it is a little wider without all the foam there

Is this just a normal squarebody dash pad?
@half-assedgarage1459 3 жыл бұрын
Yes it's what the stock 81+ pad is underneath all the plastic and padding
@neonbeach62 3 жыл бұрын
Ok, so you stripped the pad to bare metal, that's it?
@half-assedgarage1459 3 жыл бұрын
yes sir. pried most of it off with a putty knife, then a wire wheel on a drill to clean the rest off. done
