1303 dash refinish with tolex.
 

Sorry, just realized I posted this in the wrong place. Feel free to move.

Has anyone ever redone their cracked faded dash with tolex?

The same material they use the cover guitar amp cabinets with. I'm thinking maybe smoothing out the raised cracks with a sanding disk attachment, leveling / reshaping it with body filler, then using some spray adhesive to adhere the tolex, and then cut as necessary with a razor.

Tolex runs about $35 dollars for a 54" x 36" (21.25 cm x 14.17 cm). A can of 3m spray adhesive is $10.

Just thinking out loud here since mine needs some attention and those dash covers are $65 plus shipping and that doesn't take care of the whole dash.

Not to mention, tolex comes in many different colors and textures.

I'm sure you could easily make your dash like these for a fraction of the cost.
