olzed Posted October 26, 2012 Share #13 Posted October 26, 2012 Leather would be difficult. I doubt that it could be stretched enough withought some stitching. Stitched leather would look very classy, though not so original looking.

CW240Z Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share #14 Posted October 26, 2012 Leather would be difficult. I doubt that it could be stretched enough withought some stitching. Stitched leather would look very classy, though not so original looking.Exactly, that's why I went with a synthetic material. It stretches better and costs a fraction of the price. I'm working on a few other components of the dash as of now and will post those photos soon. Chase.

CW240Z Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted October 26, 2012 Here is a picture of the dash I am currently working on. It is already out of the truck, and has had the top part refinished using the methods described on this forum. The glove box is off in this photo as well. It is much more simple than the Z dash, so I am not sure how well this process would work on it.

Rainman Posted October 27, 2012 Share #16 Posted October 27, 2012 My hat is off to you Chase.. The Z dash is so much more complex (as you know), it will be good to have the practice before making the jump to the real deal. I'll be watching your progress with interest. Best of luck!!Tom Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/44757-wrapping-a-dash/?page=2#findComment-405397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

olzed Posted October 27, 2012 Share #19 Posted October 27, 2012 Some serious work in wrapping a Z dash, in either vinyl or leather, but done right it can be very cool.Nice pictures Blue.

ninjazombiemaster Posted October 27, 2012 Share #20 Posted October 27, 2012 Those look great blue!That put me right on the fence of repairing mine, and making a cover. That's seriously classy looking. Decisions, decisions. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/44757-wrapping-a-dash/?page=2#findComment-405432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted December 21, 2012 Share #23 Posted December 21, 2012 Like the leather better, but the stitching looks better on the suede one. Saw a Mazarati 4 porte parked on the street - beautiful light brown leather dash, looked all hand stitched, no machine. If you had it done by a pro the cost of leather would be nothing compared to the labor.

hogie Posted December 21, 2012 Share #24 Posted December 21, 2012 Has anyone tried flocking a 240z dash yet? The initial buy in might be higher, but it would be easier to do. The synthetic leather looks promising either way. I stole this pic from nasioc.
