Re: [DML] Re: Binnacle and Dashboard



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.
