Hey, thanks for the offer. My daughter goes to college in Decorah and we've got a couple of guys in our Ford Club from New Hampton. You should tag along to a meeting sometime. My son is 23 and would like to have another Fox guy in the club.

I have a dash top cover.... but still prefer the look of the original dash.  That is probably what I will end up doing.... I just figured for twice the cost I could have had a NOS dash.  Yeah, right..... on that one.

Maybe some of you should post some of your dash top pics dyed the color of the original dash to help change my mind.  :)

I used one of these on an 1984 Chevy Truck and I really did not like it. It just did not fit well and the sun cooked the  outta it shrinking it down. I know that is what happens to plastic in the sun, but has anyone had problems with the Cougar/Bird dash cap since installation?

Vinnie has one on his, and it gets to be about 120 deg. over there in the summer. If they can survive that. I'm sold on the caps myself.
he's got pics somewhere

In his defense, it IS hard to see the flaw. Of course, in a picture that small, it's hard to even see the dash!
