Nissanman Posted April 9, 2007 Share #37 Posted April 9, 2007 as a follow on: -After having his dash re-done, my son asked the trimmer what product to use to keep it in A1 condition.Answer: - NONE. Just wipe it over with a damp cloth to remove to dust, THAT IS ALL FOLKS!So he has done exactly that with no problems.

CoastGuardZ Posted April 9, 2007 Share #38 Posted April 9, 2007 Well Bruce... I don't know how I missed this one the first time around but, Dude! That looks awesome!!! I'm not really interested in a cap myself, so this looks like the perfect alternative until I decide to have the dash redone. Please keep us informed on this Summers evil doings.

TravRMK Posted June 7, 2007 Share #41 Posted June 7, 2007 Your dash looked almost identical to mine. Although my cracks might be a bit bigger. I think I'll have to try this. Thanks for the Idea.

Caen Fred Posted June 12, 2007 Share #43 Posted June 12, 2007 BRA....VO I am using a cap right now, and I am happy with that, as my toy is for track day fun. I have a question, I plan to cut one or maybe two holes in the dash under the cap, to have esay access to the tach, speedo and gauges. Is there anything wired on those parts of the dash that would prevent me of using my DREMEL to cut in the meat with the dash in the car?????Lazy Boomer Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22325-dash-repair-processpictures/?page=4#findComment-212040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBZ 260 Posted October 22, 2007 Share #44 Posted October 22, 2007 Hi guys, new to this forum i did a similar dash resto like Bruce For guys from Australia check these forums for details on localy available materials:http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?topic=1618.0http://www.thezgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=980Pitty that i havent seen this post prior doing mine. could have saved bit more time on experimentation. but like Bruce i was amazed how well it came out.though my texture is more similar to modern car like suade leather finishsure beats paying $500+ for a resto.

DeMoore Posted October 22, 2007 Share #45 Posted October 22, 2007 Great job! I would never have thought of all that, and for the money, that's a good price. I have to fix cracks in my dash that the previous owner put padded upholstery over, which makes no sense, but I'd like do to do a fix like that like that from under. Thanks for the thread, very helpful. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22325-dash-repair-processpictures/?page=4#findComment-225649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tstewart Posted October 26, 2007 Share #46 Posted October 26, 2007 Just wanted to post my results repairing a spare dash I had around using the method described here. I am quite pleased with the results. Hopefully I'll get around to getting it in a car soon and see how it holds up in the Gulf Coast heat. -Tony Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22325-dash-repair-processpictures/?page=4#findComment-226284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
