Dash Pad - Big Disappointment Today

Went into the garage to do some more assembly work on the Cutlass, and saw a new crack in the dash, running front to back, right behind the steering wheel.

It wasn't there 2 days ago. We've had some cold weather the last couple of days... down in the low teens at night. Apparently that's a bit too cold for the 47 year old dash.

So now I've got to think about what I want to do. I know a few of you have some good dashes... but I'm not sure it makes sense to spend $250-350 for a 47 year old dash that just hasn't cracked yet. And from what I've been seeing on your posts... having a dash and glove box door recovered is going to set me back close to $1000.

I may have the repair guy repair this new crack, just as he did on the 2 or 3 little ones while the car was in the body shop... just to get me buy for a while.

Perhaps that will get me by for a year or so...
