How much do you want for your old pillow dash?  Assuming it has no cracks 
or gouges in the front (not the top, that's a given), I might be interested.
   Not the stuff, just the dash.  Mine has a good size gouge in the front of 
it, making it a necessary replacement for my restoration.  Truth be told, I 
probably should buy a new repro  or NOS dash, but I can't find a seller, 
plus I'm not looking forward to finding out how much a NEW complete dash 
would cost.

What I don't like about the pillow dash is it seems like an awful waste of 
real estate.  Plus, it makes the interior of the MGB look too soft and 
cushy.  But, I'm trying to get my '68 correct so I need the proper dash.
