I was wondering if anyone has ripped the plastic part that cracks off the dash and resurfaced it with a paint or something?

Try it and let us know how it works.
Include lots of pictures.

If you can find another dash you can get it professionally recoved. Around $700. Then do a swap some week end.

Or with a little effort you can do it your self. Vinyl, contact cement and a heat gun.

Call around the junk yards near you and see if any have dead 944's.
