I really appreciate the advice, I figured I'd need a new part. But I am not adverse to trying to fix it first. Besides its really not that bad and in the right light you can't tell its cracked. I may use the money for a new binnacle instead. I am cleaning my car top to bottom (for the first time in its life mind you!) and all I can say is, you concourse car owners are too tough! I simply don't have the patience. I've been taking things off and cleaning the car since Sunday a few hours at a time and I have many hours left and regret even starting this project! The 25+ year old grime on the bottom wasn't hurting anyone why did I have to go and disturb it! My wheel wells do look nice though, not that anyone will ever see them once the wheels are back where they belong.
