    there are a few google/youtube tutorials around, but to get the job done and looking 100% you need a vac forming machine
    if you just have a few minor cracks you can bog them up and while the bog is curing grab similar vinyl and dab it over the bog to give it some texture/grain, then spray the whole dash pad with a textured vinyl paint, even k&h bumper black works well

    Had my dash in the 86 done by dashboard doctor in Melb. Cost me $500ish from memory a few years back.
