It's a world of vinyl, color, and aroma that only a true musclecar fanatic can appreciate. Yes, the inside of your ride is where the whole experience happens. And whether it's hued in three shades of blue, black, or red, the quality of your interior speaks volumes about how serious you are about your car. Most importantly, a discriminating restoration demands the interior look new and exactly original. Many Mopars have led a rugged life and have cracked dashes, worn door panels, and broken trim and plastic to prove it. Often finding N.O.S. or good reproduction items to maintain that factory new appearance is difficult, to say the least.
But there's good news. Just Dashes in Van Nuys, California, can completely restore aging original and worn interior parts to look, last, and fit like new. This includes dashpads, vinyl door panels, headrests, plastic, and most interior parts. The new material used for these restorations is formulated with modern UV inhibitors that allow the vinyl to last much longer in the sun. If your musclecar has the more unique molded door panels, such as those found on early '70s Mopar E-Bodies, they can be restored as well. Or if you are considering converting your car to factory power windows, many door panels can be altered to accept the power window switch without revealing the previous crank window hole. For some vehicles, the instrument panel and gauges can be restored to a better-than-factory look.
The process to restore most of these items is labor intensive and requires a good bit of time, but the bottom line is, if you need to restore almost any interior item, chances are that Just Dashes can help. To learn more about this we followed along as the Just Dashes team worked their magic on some '63 Plymouth interior items. The door panels suffered from age and grime, the dashpad from years of harsh sunlight, and the kick panels and arm rests were dramatically faded. Check out the process and the stunning results as these items are transformed from old to better than new.
