I got a spare dash from the PnP that is just about as cracked as mine with the idea of doing some experiments.

Idea #1 Strip off the vinyl and foam from the sheet metal core and recover with modern materials that are UV resistant. What would be the best way to remove the bonded-on foam and what are sources for new materials?

Idea #2 Split the dashboard horizontally under the trim strips so the top could be easily removed for maintenance or mods. Any thoughts?

I have taken apart the dash before to the point of removing the heater/AC unit. I have relocated relays for easy access, installed an early style cruise control, electric door locks, and moved CIS and lambda boxes to install a right side air vent.
