I had my dash recovered in black leather. I had this done with the dash intact. I hated the idea of taking the dash off. It seems like an awful project so my upholstery guy just put a layer of black leather on top and glued it down. I have new 6 inch speakers near my feet so I didn't have them keep the speaker cut out the same (no more poked holes in the dash). It came out beautiful. I will email to anyone interested. I also have pics of that binnacle sewn (of someone else's car). I just opted to get a new binnacle since it is easy to replace and I thought $300.00 wasn't too much. Remember to have your dashboard cracks filled in and smoothed over otherwise it will show through the leather. I also had the glove lid redone to match. The hardest part was getting a screwdriver to fit your heater vents in the windshield corner up front. Not much room up there.
