Dash rehab questions need sample pictures

RIBS · Feb 15, 2022

I am pulling my entire dash to rewire the car.
I have the metallic black for the main dash. I have chrome paint pens for the chrome.

What type of black goes around the instrument cluster?

Which parts are chrome. On mine all 3 surfaces of this trim close up are chrome. Is that correct?

And the ac vent area. Is that raised area chrome?

Pictures appreciated!

The perimeter beading is chrome, as well as around the gauges, the rest is satin black

Great photos - I have a box of stuff ready to send to them. It's timely to see the kind of work they do.

They painted too much chrome. It’s supposed to be just the top of edge and not the sides of the edge. It does look good but Ribbs is more accurate.

I appreciate your feedback, but the original panels were sent with the original chrome plating by ford. They replicated the original very well and with seven MCA Concourse Gold awards I am happy with it. I have owned this car since 84' and the original interior was in it and very accurate prior to my concourse restoration started in 2009.
