well after putting it off for the longest time...i decided to go at it.To my surprise the dash was in good shape thanks to the original owners who covered the dash with vinyl.
how it started


ducted taped closed and hit it with the heat gun to close the gap


and after some cleaning and sanding here it is

 

will have some more pics in the next couple of days......its taking some time to remove some of the excess glue left behind

 

coming along really well

 

great job, u should be proud of your self

 

thanks 1990yota.........i consider my dash recovery a lost treasure and found after many years....lol
i am in the final touches before the installation happens, i will leave it stock and untouched.

 

wow great work

 

dash is now done

 

more pics from driver POV please, carbon fiber/graphite looks interesting

 

Great job.... My dash had several cracks and the speaker hole, was just that a HOLE. I used JBweld and bondo, filled the cracks and HOLE, sanded it down and painted it with VHT Krinkle paint. It came out pretty good. Again Great Job on your dash.

 

hers one

 

You are a craftsman. That is quite a makeover.

 

u just gotta tackle the crack in the windsheild

 

thanks fellows... feels great to tackle cosmetic projects to make my baby look sexy......lol

 

so all you did was tape the cracks together and used a heat gun?? Im confused?

 

confused on what ????..........the duck tape was used to hold the ends together as i used the heat gun to loosen the vinyl and foam.I then heated it and shaped it as much as i could back into shape......my whole cab is done now along with new carpet.

 

How did you hide the seams that were cut in the vinyl? Did you rewrap the foam pad with new vinyl or did you use some kind of adhesive to adhere the existing vinyl? Whatever you did, it looks great!

 

any idea on how to fix the crack that we all have in the center of our dash pad? lol

 

i have my dash out of the 88 s,c and wasn't sure on what u used to fill the cracks and did you lay new vinyl or mold,sand,and paint?

 

From what I saw/read/understand he didn't have any cracks to fill. His dash was protected by the vinyl cover, he used the heat gun to reshape to original fit.
