I need a lower right trim piece for the dash on our 70 Challenger.  I thought ours was good, but as I am putting it back together, I see it is broken.

My long trim piece was broken in two places.  I was able to "weld" it back together with a soldering iron.   So far, it's held together well.  There are still hairline cracks present but you'd have to know to look for them to see them.  I'm happy to talk further if you'd like to try this approach.

AFAIK the AC dash trim is not reproduced.
Tony's has the lower trim that goes around the heater controls and the radio. In addition to the bezels.

I thought the picture was referring to the trim that goes around the radio.

The piece that I need is the piece that goes under the radio and wraps up to the side of the instrument cluster.  It is broken where it meets the dash pad as can be seen in the photo.  There is a piece missing on the inside corner.

Yup, Tony's reproductions are real nice  :alan2cents:

Thanks.  Does anyone know if the one that Roseville sells is the Tony's parts reproduction?  I am about to place a big order with Roseville and it would be convenient to buy theirs.  I will make the extra effort if it is not Tony's.

My experience is that Roseville tries to source the best components in each category. Dave has a good feel for what are good parts and what are bad parts.  Plus, they offer a discount to our group.  :ohyeah:

Whoops my bad. Lower right dash trim had me thinking the AC trim on the passenger side.
