Here is a small list of things I need info on.
1) Dacals - I need a whole set, Southeast Correct Craft no long has them.
2) How to restore the dashboard housing thingy?
3) Gel coat crackes
4) Steering wheel center cap logo? can they be bought?
5) The black gel coat on the dash - I have always had trouble keeping that looking good... now after all these years its REALLY ugly!
For the 10 years we really used it keeping in great shape was easy but then we only used it a cpl times a year for 5 or 6 years and not at all for the past five or so. Now I have issues well beyond that of just cleaning. All help and comments welcome!!!!!!!!!

Hamick,
The dash should buff out if you can get a wheel on it. You might need to remove the windshield to get access. As to the decals, you might want to do a search. Several guys have had them made. They might have the patterns, or put you in touch with the guys that made them. Gel Coat cracks, take a picture and post. David F and several others on here are quite good with the gel coat advice. Dash, again, take a picture and post so we can see what you've got. Good luck with this. Sounds like funt to me. Work, but fun nonetheless. BKH
