[DMCForum] Re: Just Dashes restoration or NOS dash pad?

["bkp944" <bk_pollard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Louie,

Imagine my surprise to find pictures of my newly recovered binnacle 
in the photos section!

I hope to pick up the recovered dash and binnacle this weekend from 
Josh. I had concerns also about cracks showing through, but Josh 
explained the recovering place actually strips away all the old 
plastic, fills in any voids in the underlying part with new foam 
material. Josh can better explain, but that is the jist of it.

I saw Josh's recovered dash and binnacle personally and they do look 
great. Josh's was slightly off-color, but that has been corrected in 
mine.

I will let you know how things work out when I install them.

BTW, I was uncertain about the stitching in the binnacle also, but 
in the end decided it did look OK. Glad to hear you think it is OK 
also.

Best regards,
Brian
VIN# 4494

how they could be restored. I would think even if you could somehow 
recoat the dash that if it had a crack, the crack would eventually 
manifest itself again. I've got a big crack on my dash, and now I've 
got a purple splotch that's starting to appear, so I'm in the same 
boat. Not to mention my binnacle is cracked to hell. I wonder if 
they could do the binnacle too? Any info on this would be great! -
