Vic,
Just Dash in California does excellent work, however be aware they have a long time line.

RD Autoline (http://autoline.se/?lang=en_us) in Sweden
From the restored dashes I have seen over the years, RD has been superior to Just D's, and allot less snooty to deal with (in fairness it has been awhile).
Also, be aware (in your desire to be OEM - or not - with your restoration) that depending on the early vs later production of your car, the thickness of padding did change.
And, there are different patterns to the vinyl too.
Have fun,
Steve B.
I had mine done at just dashes. And I am happy to have something that looks clean and new. But there are a few problems.
1. The foam shape is different. Original was flat and crisp. The new is to puffy.
2. The texture is wrong. The original was a smooth stipple grain. The new has a small ridge texture.
3. The color is not right. The original was a dark indigo blue. The new one is brighter. Not bad but not quite original.
