DASHBOARD DISASTER!!!WHY DID I EVEN TRY THIS?

[@kenmorgan9528]

I had a 95 BMW M3 that had the headliner start drooping....took it to a guy in downtown Orlando, FL who worked on nothing but European cars. We talked about his methods and he showed me the 3M adhesive he used, which came in 5-gallon buckets which he described as "extremely expensive." Which explains why the average Joe doesn't use it. Also explains why he charged $500 to restore that headliner. Thanks for this....your patience and craftsmanship is truly impressive.

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

Literally nowhere else on KZbin. I think it turned out amazing.

[@Papa_Kilo]

I wish I had your patience, that whole thing would have been on the burn pile by now. Yet another excellent video Mike, thanks and take care buddy 👍

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thanks for checking in man.

[@deejaysavoie7158]

Ya I would have the patience for it I’d be dropping the f bombs lol

[@TheRealYorkshireman]

Either burned to a crisp or with an upholsterer but certainly would try that myself. Tbh I would have had a go at the painted option but not covering it.

[@tomcarpenter700]

That is hilarious,,

[@kevinritchie9227]

My thoughts exactly! But damn it looks goooooood!

[@leadfootgarage]

Not going to lie, I was super sketch about how this dash would turn out but wow, I'm really impressed. It looks really, really nice!

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thanks Mark

[@1chish]

What I appreciate WB is how you just own up when something goes wrong and then show us how you get it right. Too many YT channels just show perfect results every time and we all know that just doesn't happen. That Sir was a mighty fine job and it looks factory. An unbelievable restoration from something that was really scrap. And yes black headliner ....

[@brianpooley6635]

one can tell that you are not from the new throw away generation. Love your attitude to the trials and tribulations and of course the end results. A lot of us fail because we do not have or know what products are out there or how to use. You are a great teacher and inspiration to us your followers. Thanks again for teaching us patience along with great craftsmanship

[@bradbarnes7130]

The dash looks great, I would be happy to have that in my car. Great job!!!!

[@robertvance1873]

What I enjoy so much Mike is that you are not Afraid to Venture into New territory you Head straight forward and you take us with you for the adventure and if anything happens we experience it with you Nothing Fake about you and Thank you for being the Real Deal, it keeps everything Fresh and interesting, unlike another channel I won't mention their name that record's and repeats the same boring Bullshit Can I get All my Chins and Fat Ass in this Copart Tesla 🤣 or and thinks because of the friend's he's purchased Who praise him, he thinks he's got it all together. He's such a Sandy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dashboard came out SWEET! Lot of work & it paid off BIG time at the end!

[@SaulPastoriza]

That’s the difference between you and other channels… you are willing to try things and excel at it… no matter how many times you have to do it!! Great job!!!

[@sabrekat7904]

you put a lot of effort into that and credit to you for showing that it went wrong.I think it's an excellent result and you should be rightly pleased with the outcome.

Wow! I wish I had your patience Mike. I like that you show us all the issues and don’t edit them out. ✊👍💯

Well done Mike, it looks great. I was stressed just watching you do this, thanks for the video Regards Mike UK

[@jasonh4167]

I read the header for the vid and thought..oh no the dash is damaged beyond repair. Your perseverance is on a legendary level my friend. Glad it all worked out in the end, you also gained experience in the process. 👍

[@goneshootin61]

Always use contact cement spray for any upholstery work .

[@tonygiraldes7848]

You had an idea and you tried it out 💡this is how innovation happens: there are a lot of misfires before you achieve your goal 👍 much respect ✊

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thanks Tony

[@richardcarter3204]

I am impressed great job

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Jobs like this need a textured wrapping vinyl that can be stretched into pockets like the air vents and around humps. Oh hang on - you’ve used “4 way vinyl? Looks like great stuff.

[@BoZn8r]

You have to fail first to achieve greatness Mike.... Looks great!!

[@shoemaker924]

Mike, that dashboard is MINT! really impressed with how it turned out. I never imagined someone wrapping a dash like that and it turned out great.

[@brucenaylor2043]

I would have just sanded it and painted it satin black....lol. You did a great job 👏🏼 👍🏼

[@davidmcdaniel2615]

Or maybe hitting it with a textured vinyl spray paint.

[@brucenaylor2043]

@@davidmcdaniel2615 Thats an even better idea 💡 👏🏼

[@michaelbristol6467]

The bed liner paint has a textured look like vinyl with killer durability. That's what I would've used.

[@brandonzilka1274]

Weird Beard, you're a good guy. Thanks for being real just like 99% of us watching and for showing how learning a new skill by trying new things pays off in the end. Great job on this project and I'll be looking forward to watching your future videos.

Outstanding work. This channel is the real deal. Trial and error from a great craftsman. Impressive..

[@matthenderson]

What a transformation from what you started with though. That’s really magic when you put a comparison pic side-by-side. Great job! The only way to really learn a craft like that is hands on and by making mistakes. Brave to even try!

[@robertj2]

That came out great! It was a process but as you said, everyone learned from it. I admire your patience and perseverance…this is a fun project to watch 😀. Stay well and take care of the wife.

[@russunderhill9342]

Dude you got skills and patience don't ever let anyone tell you don't I've worked on Cars 4 years I'm follow you for a couple years now I'm totally impressed doing that dance like that I never thought it would work but you proved me wrong hats off to you

[@theroving1]

You have a ridiculous amount of patience.... Great result in the end!!

[@jeffkelly636]

After I saw you fix up that roof, I had no doubt you'd figure it out and complete this dash. You even got the contours on the raised up part. Great video, your patience problem solving and skills are impressive.

[@donaldwhitten2438]

Mike you are one hell of a craftsman that dash turned out beautiful. Great job brother.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Great job Mike, not sure I would have the patience to do that. Really like your program, keep up the excellent work. Take care. 👍

[@johnclemont7801]

Your patience and explaining the process is great. Thank you ✨🎆

[@uggadugga8070]

You really showed how to be patient and think everything through before the 2nd try. I know people who would have started throwing tools around because things weren't going the way they expected.... Great job Bro!

[@tsherrer100]

Came out nice. I would have gotten pissed off and sprayed it with bedliner! Black headliner will be cool. Spray A-pillar trim satin as well.

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Fantastic job Mike. If I hadn't watched you do all this, I would have just took it that you bought a new dash for the car. A you said, we learn from our mistakes and practice make it perfect and you had a lot of practice with this one. Really, really well done Mike. 👍

[@htownblue11]

I see you got about a 1000 new subs man! Good stuff. As always, I love how you show the real side of refurbishing. It’s not always perfect or easy, which is why it’s a skill. Your end result justifies the effort Mike. Mad respect for your talent friend. I work with 4 way vinyl on my projects and it’s forgiving but not easy. Way to go.

You are very determined Mike, and sometimes that is what it takes. It looks Good, so you did a Good Job! Satin Black on the roof would be fine.

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thanks man. I agree with you on the headliner. I think it would look awesome black.

[@leetheriderforlife7548]

I didn’t at the beginning think it would be like that at all, so just goes to show just some imagination and creativity and there is nothing that cannot be done. Well done you did a great job on it 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jhonditch4269]

I am so glad I or other convinced me I couldn't do what I thought I could so here I sit holding an ginormous "L" TK garage special meanwhile you learned and achieved a lot.

[@thomasgargan2485]

That looks like a brand new factory piece. Looks like it tested the patience alottt. I would've ended up tossing the thing against the wall and searching the junkyards for a different one. Love the progress on the old girl and I'd say yes to painting the headliner black.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Similar backing fleece and stretch fabric with high temperature glue would be good on the roof lining. I had success with black nylon Lycra but any colour could make some really interesting effects.

[@123andme]

I am impressed. You will forever be a You Tube dashboard repair idea that had success.

[@donbunner3691]

when you started this project with the dash i went and watched a few others rework dash boards in similar condition all of them came out looking decent i just want to say i like your method best with the rubbery coating

[@dandavis9522]

Amazing work, it’s better than factory! I don’t know what was more impressive , fixing the roof or this hot mess of a dash that now looks better than new. Thanks for the great content.

[@frankavery8306]

WB you went outside your comfort zone and look at what you did : ) Great job that's how we learn new trades and ways to get er done ourselves . JOB WELL DONE.. looks great to me..

[@joshgoss109]

My dad was an upholster for years, ran his own shop and did alot of restoration work like you have done on this dash. I think he would have been proud of the way you worked through this process. The white pad you had you could have glued it to your vinyl first and it would have been easier to work with, but I think the dash turned out great without the padding.

[@ionedave]

Wow, that dash looks awesome, trial and error for sure but with patience you did a fine job and showed how to do it right and slow. Going to look good when it's in the car and all the badges and instruments cluster is on it. Congrats

Definitely looks like one of those experience where you just can't do anything else but try learn from what happens, adapt and just continue from there. Always as impressed with your patience, you did some great work on that dashboard and ended up with a good video for others to learn from. :) Stay awesome, much love to yall!

When I watched your last video on the dash I commented that I was interested in seeing how you overcame the big curves. It was difficult but you pulled it off. Very well done Mike. It looks a million dollars and you've not only saved some money but have chalked up another skill that you can turn to your advantage.👍🏼

[@johnstedman4075]

Great perseverance, Mike, and the finished result makes it really worthwhile! Anything with 3M on the label is a good choice, and the 3M90 was perfect for that job. If you ever need something with even more "grip", try the 3M Panelbond, which is a fully certified 'structural adhesive' and is even used to stick bridges together (only Interstate bridges though, not railroad ones, apparently...)

[@RichBinell]

Dear Mr. Beard, You are a patient, goodhearted man. Congratulations on using the 3M glue. Seems like that made almost as much. of a difference as starting in the middle. Wow. Great work. Thank you for having the courage to share both your failures and success.
