Here are pics and descriptions of when I stripped down a spare midget dash to recover.

Here's what the original dash looks like. Big and paddy. You can see my knit driving cap sitting on the shifter

These next shots are various ones of what the dash looks like.

1. What the dash looks like out of the car.		2.A shot from the top. It shows how most of them crack from sun exposure.
3. And one from the back.

These are some shots of the rest of the stripping process.

1. First I peeled off the nasty cracked cover, trying to take a lot of foam with it.		2. This is the backside of the cover, with a lot of the foam attached. I imagine the foam might have been somewhat soft from new, but it was pretty hard and crumbly when I removed it.
3. What the dash looks like with the foam that just wouldn't come with the cover.		4. And a closer shot, with my big sexy German toe clearly visible.

At this point it was just a matter of scraping the rest off. I ended up sanding it, and priming it to protect against the elements.

I may or not have pics of what it looks like after covering, but I will have to look.
