=== 2. Have your cracked dash recovered ===

PROS:

* Quality — This is second on the list in terms of originality and quality. In fact, modern materials and techniques can sometimes produce a higher quality dash than those available in the 70s, though it will be less “original.”
* Availability — No need to search for a new part; it’s already in your car.
* Warranty — Some companies offer a lifetime warranty for their work. If it cracks, they will re-cover it for free. (See CONS for the catch.)

CONS:

* Effort — Still requires removal and reinstallation of the dashboard, which is a big job.
* Cost — Can be expensive, sometimes even more than buying a new dash from the factory.
* Downtime — The dash must be removed and taken to a shop, leaving your car unusable for days.
* Originality — The recovered dash may not match the original grain pattern.
* Warranty — Even if it’s free to re-cover, you’ll still need to remove and reinstall the dash yourself.
