1976 C3 Corvette Dash Recover

Decided to try and recover myself to save the cost of a new one. I figured if it didn't turn out very well, I could always buck-up and buy new...

You could probably get out the wrinkles with the heat gun.

i wanna see you reinstall it. i had to bend mine so much that i broke the origional getting it our. new one on the way and not sure how im gonna be able to get it back in without breaking it

I've already got it back in, and didn't think to make a video. It was a pain. I took all of the panels out on the passenger side, and loosened the panels (containing the speedo, etc) on the drivers side so that I could pull them down as far as I could without actually removing them. Still had to flex it quite a bit to get it in, but with the dash panels out/down I made it without snapping it again...

With all that labor wouldn't it have been easier just to buy a new one

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbot" in German. :-/
