I just spoke to Davis on the phone and he is going to an AMC yard and check on the dash for me the end of this week. The part of the dash (plastic) between the crash pad and windshield is only part of the whole dash frame, but that is the part that gets the full blunt of the uv rays and warps and cracks. That is the problem I have with mine. If I can't get one from Davis I will let you know, he is only in Ct. not that far from me in N.Y., but if you go to the junk yard check it out for me anyway and see about a price. Thanks. I think I will take the new Hornet out for a drive to run some errands. Later!!!
