Re: [DML] Recover Dash and instrument hood or buy NOS?

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxx>]

Personal thoughts: If you're into concours - NOS is
the only way to go. If not . . . . I had ordered a
NOS binnacle through one of the vendors. I was very
unhappy with it when it arrived. Moreover, I figured
it would just crack again like the original. So, I
had my binnacle recovered in leather by the DeLorean
Motor Center. 

It looks awesome - fits in with the rest of the
interior so well that it almost looks stock - won't
crack, etc., etc. I currently have no cracks in the
dash, but when one appears, I will have the dash done
as well. I have seen one car that they had done where
the entire interior was done in leather and it was
very nice. 

I know the purists will gag, but it is something for
you to consider.
