Andy,

The dashes on the URL you presented do look great, no question about it.

And re-doing a dash IS a big deal that can require months.

But, looking at dashes on the Prestige Autowood site, I didn't see any that
include the factory hole filled with a chrome plug located To the left of the
holes for blinker and hi-low beam lights, and then there are the questions of
correct shade and grain.

Rgds,

why not just buy one from Prestige Autowood?  I realize that they are pricey,
but they are very well done and look correct in the car.  All you'll have to
do is install it.  I've got one in my car and it still looks new after 25
years.  Evidently, redoing the original dashes must be difficult because you
don't see too many of them done right; one can almost invariably tell that
they were "homemade."  From my way of thinking, if I'm going to have to be
staring at that dash for years to come, I would want it right.
