Hi Linda. The original '66 dashes were composite: walnut veneer attached to a thin aluminum backing. Attached with contact cement. The '67 Dash was plastic, and held up a little better. The only physical dfference between the two is that the '67 has a bigger turn signal indicator hole. You can order a wood replacement and 3m "gorilla snot" weatherstrip adhesive it in place. Use very little adhesive. Be very careful getting the old one off....no prying with narrow screwdrivers around the guages!!! Take your time. What I did 20 years ago on my '67 was repaint the guage surrounds with "chrome" paint I got at the hobby shop. Not perfect, but really hard to tell. Use a fine brush. Cost? about $3. Good Luck. Your car sure is gonna look mean in Black with the orange and yellow flames.....
