I recently bought a very low mile 88 GT (20K miles) that was left under the Florida sun for the last 5 years. The beechwood interior suffered quite a bit, and I am restoring the car. The dash has 3 cracks, about 1 inch each. Finding a perfect dash is nearly impossible nowdays, specially an 88 beechwood. I took the dash out of the car and the plastic repair experts say its not worth fixing, as it may crack again. My solution, cover the uper dash only. Has anyone done this? Any ideas or suggestions> Thanks

So whats the question? Scrub the dash with denatured alcohol which you can get by the gallon at Home Depot/Lowes, apply contact cement to both surfaces and apply the material.
I have a couple of good Beechwood GT dashes in my basement. let me know if you are interested.
