Got rust? Seats, panels, doors, windows, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Body & Interior' category are here.

Middle Dash Insert - which one should I use?

Post by GARYSCC »

Hi, I noticed that I have two different patrol middle dash inserts - one has a pull out light, and the other has a radio. Were these for different year patrols or was this something that could be switched around from time to time? Also, I posted several new pictures of my patrol. Let me know what you think.

I'd use the first one. It looks like the 2nd one was custom made.

I have to go see you shots but that shot of the seat and steering wheel look good to go. Media/sand blaster units require a lot of air but if you have one or access to one that dash piece could look brand new. Harbor Freight brand sells a small cabinet model for 200 smackolas. There are hickups but it gets the job done.
