First of all, welcome to the list. The more the merrier. Second,
regarding the dash question:

There are two companies that I am aware of that recover these types
of dashes and door panels. Dash Specialists in Medford Oregon and Just Dashes
(1-800-247-3274) in California. I have had experience with Just
Dashes and they do good work that looks very original. They
apparently reproduce the vinyl molding process that the factory used.

Good luck !
