Question Reputable Source for Dash Pad

Looking for the best dash pad source. Don't want one of those dash pad caps - want the actual pad to replace my warped one. I don't believe one of those dash pad caps would help a warped dash. Anone have any personal experience with replacing a dash pad or using one of those dash pad caps????

I had good luck with National Parts Depot. They sell Ford tooling dash pads. Mine fits really well and appears correct.

I have use the 67/8 dashes from Dashes Direct and the fitment was good but I really disliked the grain on it. It was too rough and doesn't really match the factory look or feel. You might have better luck with the ford tooling dash.

TMK there are no 'Ford tooling' dashes for '67/'68 as the original was trashed unfortunately according to story.
Scott Drake is making them now also, don't know if his is a different tooling than the 2 known manuf. on the market now of which apparently one fits ok but grain looks awful, the other has correct grain but fit is awful.
Hopefully someone will chime in on the new Scott Drake model too.

Got mine from NPD. im happy with it. Cant remember exactly who made it but i believe the same stuff goes to all the mustang vendors for certain things.. (dash pads) if you can find Scott DDrake go for that! He makes the best quality repo mustang parts IMO
