68 ghia dash

Cswallow · Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2013 4:25 am Post subject: 68 ghia dash

In restoring my 68 ghia I decided to remove the padded dash. Does anyone know where I can get a speaker grill/cover. I'm not going to have a speaker in the dash.

It'll fit ...but it wont look exactly correct. 68 dash is open in front (like 67) so there isnt a 360 degree indent for that piece to fit. heres a pic to help make sense.

Bottom line...does it look like it doesn't go there?

I used an alum cover, but it looks the same size/shape. This is my 67 dash (top is identical to 1968 ), I put a piece of rubber under to try to clean up the look. Its temporary as I'm not really happy with it.

Just made up some new Ghia Speaker Grills out of Aluminum and Stainless Steel. 1/8 or 1/16 thickness. These look great on any naked dashes with no pads.

This will work for a 68 right?

It will work...exactly like all the previous ones that were posted.
