They are "local". The have depots in the USA and gather the parts and send them to Australia to be repaired and then sent back. A few guys on this site did a group dash resto from the USA to Australia a few years back.

If you go this route, please let us know how the console turns out.

duffman,

I live about 10 minutes away from MSA and was in recently (like every Saturday!). They have one of the repo consoles on the wall, so I took a look. I think you'll like it. From the outside it looks great. Only when you look inside do you see small differences. These won't show unless you have the ashtray out and are looking very closely.

I have a friend that collects broken ones. He uses parts and pieces to make good ones for his Z cars. He swears by POR 15. I've seen a repair job he has done and it looks almost real. Then again, it's good enough for him as it's one of his daily drivers. Personally, I'd keep a close eye on ebay. I recently picked up a very good 260 console for my 280 for 30 bux. I wanted the slot for the choke cable as I'm running a carb on mine.

Dewayne, I have heard about Dashboard Restorations (http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au) as an option for refinishing. Have also heard of prices around $900 to $1,200 to either restore or buy a dash restored. No cheap options!!!:( The half cap for $50 looks pretty good!!
