Ok...can this be fixed?

I found a Rallye gauge cluster in a junk yard for my 74. It has NOT been cut for aftermarket radio. But it is cracked all the way through below the radio opening. Can this be fixed? We have not talked price so I can use the crack to my favor.

Can you post a picture?

Of course it can be fixed, the real question is how bad is the crack & how invisible you make the repair. Is it a hairline crack ? Do you want to retain the "wood" color ?

Did not take a picture. It is not a hairline crack. I guess you could say it is broken all the way through. I would like to retain the wood color. Maybe I am being too picky.

The hard part will be restoring the finish once it's put back together. Given how brittle some of these parts get I would stay away from it. But they're also hard to find...

It has been baking in the Texas heat for some time now. Some of the kick panels were very brittle.
