A previous owner drilled a hole in the under dash AC trim panel. It is otherwise in great shape and I'd prefer to have it restored rather than just throwing a decal over the top of it. Does anyone know anyone that does this type of work? Thanks in advance.

It might be cheaper to see if you can find a replacement

I have repaired some 70 Challenger trim pieces.
I used PVC cement. Then painted them.

Before:



If you look close you can see the repair. If I needed to fill a hole, I would used some JB-Weld Plastic and then some body filler to make it easier to scribe in some grain if you want to go that far.
Take your time. Don't be afraid of a couple redo tries. If you have any spare parts to practice on, I would give that a try first.

After:



I redid the Dash, Column, Console, all the Trim pieces you see here and more that is not seen.


Way cheaper to fix and probably next to impossible to find a nice one that doesn't need any repairs.
A perfect one, will for sure be expensive.

These are almost impossible to find in my experience.
