I have to replace the dash pad..the crack in it makes the rest of the car look bad.....I am NOT looking forward to trying to do this.:BangHead:
 
I have a replacement pad, its just the fact that everything has to come apart.

I started out replacing the insturment bezel on my 300.... and ended up removing, dissasembling and refinishing the entire dash....... frame and all. I would advise doing it that way, but it's a lot of work.......
It involves removing the entire steering column, the dash harness, (disconnect from the bulkhead connector), and what ever other connectors for heating, vaccuum lines etc.
Get a digital camera and take a lot of pictures before and as you take it apart.
You can then work on a bench.... much easier. and reinstall the dash as an assembled unit.

It's not a job for the faint of heart but very doable..... And you'll forget about all the work everytime you look at that restored dash.

Ask Murray to pack every damn last one of his 40 bazillion horn pads in a box and bring it to the show.
Then pick out the best one.......

He said that the one he sent me was the best one.
 
Least disturbance they said...............................


Still need to pull the column to ease re-installation.

If your gonna do it, do it right.
