[QUOTE="Tex Arcana, post: 11158713, member: 15892"] And the other reason for this therad: [ATTACH=full]245702[/ATTACH] Some scraping to get ride of the loose shyt: [ATTACH=full]245703[/ATTACH] Taped and prepped: [ATTACH=full]245704[/ATTACH] Hold yer horses, kiddos!! I'm not gonna PlastiDip this shyt! Originally, I was going to do something akin to what Ferrari did to their mid-late-90's cars, which was fabric-covered dash panels. And I went to JoAnn's Fabrics to find some... and was striking out; OTOH, I saw some nice faux-suede that looked and felt good, and if I had found some dark charcoal grey stuff, I'd've bought it. But the ghods were not smiling on that project idea... instead, they tripped me with this: [ATTACH=full]245705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245707[/ATTACH] Yeah, naugahyde. :eek: It's a nice matte charcoal color, and has about the same leather pattern the steering surround piece has. :cool: So, get the wrinkles out: [ATTACH=full]245708[/ATTACH] Gotta keep it smooth... what to do...? HAH! Roll it up on an old closet rod!! [ATTACH=full]245709[/ATTACH] Gotta watch the Dallas Tampons play the J - E - T - S Jets Jets JETS!! [ATTACH=full]245710[/ATTACH] Spray the dash and upholstery with heavy-duty spray glue, and go to town: [ATTACH=full]245711[/ATTACH] Smmmoooth... and a fan or two to keep the Tex cool: [ATTACH=full]245712[/ATTACH] mostly done, and looking damn good, IfEyeDoSaySoMyself: [ATTACH=full]245713[/ATTACH] Edges folded: [ATTACH=full]245714[/ATTACH] Yes, looking CLEAN!! [ATTACH=full]245715[/ATTACH] ***k, yeah!! [ATTACH=full]245716[/ATTACH] Radio surround on the panel, to check looks... I think it works: [ATTACH=full]245717[/ATTACH] Let's not forget the power point door: [ATTACH=full]245718[/ATTACH] Test fit on the back side: [ATTACH=full]245719[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
