Hello All
I am new to this forum. My wife and I purchased our first Mustang last year and it will soon be coming out of winter storage and I would like to order a few parts to fix it up before the nice weather gets here. The instrument panel pad that is on the dash seems to be too short and does not cover properly. It appears it was painted from blue to black. It also appears to be too small to fit around the radio chrome. In my opinion, it should be approximately 28 to 29 inches long with a 9 inch cut out for the radio. I have attached two pictures to show what I mean.

My question is does anyone know if there are diffent sizes for this piece? I have found it on the internet from different suppliers but know one lists a size. I would like to make sure I am ordering the right thing.
Any help or thoughts anyone would have would be appreciated.  Thanks.
Doug

Welcome to the forum. Your links are coming thru but I'll attempt to answer you.  I've never seen what you've asked for but NPD is one of the best sources for re-pop parts out there.  I think what you may need is a photo of another 67 to compare too. Unfortunately, I've have a 66 and it's different. Any forum members have a 67 dash cover photo, specifically the radio are they can share with Dugout?

That part is called the lower dash pad and came on all 67s, at least all that I have seen. It only comes in one size and is available in several colors from most Mustang parts vendors for around $35. Your pad looks like it shrunk quite a bit. It should clear the radio bezel and the right end should extend about an inch further. Maybe the heat got to it over the years.
