update on this thread......

first off....

Thanks Joe and Ralph, and Mr. Sandwich and Tommy guy for adding to this
thread.

I bought a plastic repair kit from Eastwood. It's called Plastex. About 40
bucks...........

Fixes cracks, mends broken and missing pieces and works unbelieveably great
on AMC ABS dashes.
I have 2 extra dash instrument overlay panels for the 70 Javelin that I'm
learning on and repairing.
There's a great little video with the kit shows you very clearly how to use
the product.
Try it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Armand
