Don't know if this will help? Worth a call maybe. Mike

It's a sticker I've made.

Always wnated one with a "292" on it, but only could find the "Thunderbird Special" ones, so I decided to make my own.

Are those stickers on the valve covers or are they stamped.  I would love that on my 292.  That looks great.

I'll give them a call. I'm just worried about the cost of shipping a dash pad to the US, and then back to Brazil.

I'll look if I can find a used one on eBay, already in the States, and have it sent to the guys of Just Dashes.



Thanks for the idea.

Look at Just Dashes again. You send them your dash core, they strip it, re-apply closed cell foam, shape it correctly, then vacuum apply a new vinyl finish. I've never dealt with them, but this is how they describe their work.

Thaks Bud, I've looked there already. I bought lot's of stuff from Obsolete & Classic Auto parts, and Mac's too, but all of them only have the overlay kind dash pad, that you are supposed to lay over your stock dash. Never liked those, as you can say from far that's nothing original.

When I got my Galaxie repainted back in 2001, I bought a NOS dash pad from Brazilian eBay, back then, those parts were easy to find. If only I knew they would disappear...When my friend told me he wasn't finding one, at first I thought he hadn't looked very well, now i'm starting to think he'll have to buy one of those overlay pads.



If it was for a Mustang, or a '57 Chevy, he would be able to choose from who to buy it...

Tulio, you might want to check out Dearborn Classics, they specialize in 1959 thru 1972 Galaxies. Their website is dearbornclassics.com (800) 252-7427. Also request a Galaxie catalog. Hope this helps.

Yes, I looked at Justdashes. Looks like they only have a "overlay" kind pad, I'm looking for the complete pad, with the foam, vinyl cover, and steel frame.

Here are pictures of the alternator bracket.

Those are easy to find around here, unlike the A/C bracket, that's a lot harder.

If someone liked the alternator thing, I can part with it. I would only charge for the shipping.
