Posted July 13, 200816 yr comment_253475 I have some damage to my Center Console...It isn't THAT bad, but I am trying to restore the car as best as I can. I know buying a replacement is the obvious solution, but they are pretty expensive (200 - 300/for the 1975 console)Can cracks in the plastic be fixed anyway? DIY fashion?Any ideas? (I can uploaded photos if you need to see the damage) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28721-center-console-damage-fixable/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 13, 200816 yr comment_253478 I had a crack in mine about 1-1/2" long that started at the ashtray opening. I scuffed it up and used JB Weld on the backside and it has held well. There is a tiny hairline showing on the top, but you have to be looking for it to see it. You could probably strengthen it more by adding a piece of cloth in the epoxy.

July 13, 200816 yr Author comment_253491 Funny you posted that, because I was just reading that post I'm actually going to purchase the materials tomorrow to redo my dash, the same way. I have about 3 minor cracks in the dash that I would like to address, without spending hundreds on a new dash.
