I had my dash pad for a '70 r/t redone by just dashes. Wonderful job but the 'Challenger' script on the passenger side fell off. Being 40 years old, it shattered when it hit the floor, and I lost some parts of it.
Anyone re-poping that script for a 70 challenger dash pad? Just Dashes said no, that they re-use the old one.
Anyone have a line on one?
Help.

You are going to have to find one on a parts car. Don't forget they are supposed to have a chrome like finish. Most have been worn down to the black plastic.

I painted mine with "Super Glue" and rubbed aluminium kitchen foil onto it. Then trimmied around it carefully with a sharp blade.
Someone suggested later that I could have used the much thinner foil from a popular chocolate bar over here which might have been better but it looks fine anyway.

The airplane modeler guys (I graduated from models to real cars over the years - restorations are a 'big model) have a very thin, compliant bright metal foil that nicely wraps to most shapes. Easy to apply.
Available on line or in most higher end modeling shops. Assuming you have a good core script.
I'll try Ulitimate Rides. Thanks for the tips.
