OBS Ford dash pad repair

[@neilmcintosh1200]

You have come up with a splendid result doing the sort of job I would happily ignore!! What is more, I think you enjoy doing them. Kudos!!

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. I really do enjoy this stuff. I like things to be refreashed. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@cabovergary]

Hope this helps you guys. I know these dash pads are like gold on line.

[@lancestrahm2362]

Crazy like 300-500 dollars! I'm like nah ill bondo and sand n spray paint lol

[@nathan1sixteen]

Makes me want to go to the junkyard, pull a couple of them, refinish them, and resell them. You make it look EASY, and I know my finished product wouldn’t turn out as good

[@mikemiller6418]

That looks awesome. I'm inspired.

[@cabovergary]

It has held up well. I encourage you to give it a shot

[@justinraystyles3537]

[@espeescotty]

Thanks really happy with it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@carlcarlamos9055]

That was like wrestling alligators, but the finished product looked pretty good. Hope you have the cab over back on the road. Thanks and take care.

[@cabovergary]

Haha yea it was. I am very happy with how it came out. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@G_Slicks2.0]

Hey Gary when u going back hauling loads in the cabover!

[@cabovergary]

I’ve done a couple. For some reason wasn’t happy with the footage I got so haven’t posted one yet. I will get one up soon. I miss doing them videos. Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@G_Slicks2.0]

@@cabovergary no worries

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Good solution. Those covers are expensive !

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. It been a year and holding up great. Now rest of dash is starting to crack on me though. 🫣

[@Davemal2]

Did the pad crack anymore under the new vinyl cover and show through? I am wondering if I should put a thin layer of ridged plastic to cover future cracks. I am about to start my dash pad on my 1997 F350, 340,000 miles. Thanks

[@cabovergary]

It has been since video was made in the Texas sun and it looks as good today as the day I put it in. Now being in Texas I don’t get the cold which may do something different. Would love to see your truck. Always a fan of another obs.

[@joeweaver9913]

nicely done

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. Nice looking across a non cracked dash!

[@97F350]

The repair didn't make the trim too big?

[@cabovergary]

No, it worked. The radio bezel was little hard to clip on but still did.

[@donnieloyall4409]

What type of vinyl did you use? I have the same issue with mine, but mine is maroon color.

[@cabovergary]

I don’t remember the brand I used. I went through the vinyls and picked the best match of what we had in stock. Most upholstery places would sell you material and have a decent assortment.

[@isaacmortensen4615]

I was thinking about wrapping mine today, are you shooting staples into the metal? What kind of staples and gun?

[@cabovergary]

So, I was at my buddies upholstery shop and there staples guns are air powered and pretty powerful. I think they where 3/8 staples I used. Sorry I don’t have more info. Thanks for watching and hope you are as happy as I was.

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Looks real good.. Any Ford emblems around that would cover that little bump in the vinyl? Thanks for posting

[@cabovergary]

Thankyou! That’s a good ideal. Like one from a steering wheel would look nice there. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@chriswilliams8484]

Sweet obs!

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! Pretty proud of it

[@cartercartier6571]

Nice work

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! Really happy how it came out.

[@thedrifterdf6453]

Did u pull the old vynal off or just go over the top

[@cabovergary]

Went over it. I filled the cracks. It still looks great today. Thanks for watching

[@murharco123]

Good video. Where did you get the matching vinyl?

[@cabovergary]

So my buddy upholstery shop just happened to have a matching one. Unfortunately don’t know a color code. Thanks for watching

[@scottgoforth7227]

Looks better than mine

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. Pretty happy how it came out. Now if can finish body work and paint it it will be perfect. Well for me. Haha

[@3gcustoms]

you know whats better than watching this one computer, watching it one 3 at the same time 😑

[@cabovergary]

Haha. I agree

[@blownwindsor2]

what kind of roller was that

[@cabovergary]

I don’t believe I used a roller.

[@jacksof1eye]

Great rebuild, I could never do. They're not hard to find,,,, they are Unicorns. 2 97 powerstrokes all cracked. All this hitech and they can't make it better? Expanded foam will keep expanding. I'm waiting. I just look the other way n turn up Merl Haggard.

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. Haha. Yea my issue in Texas is my main dash is cracking now. This has held up great though. Thanks for watching and commenting! Keep that haggard cranking!

[@SciotoRugby]

Awesome job. What glue did you use ?

[@cabovergary]

Thanks, it was a 3m contact glue that they buy by the five gallon pail. It really does a good job. Working on the paint now. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@cashcaldwell6588]

Cool project. I have one to do. Any other tips?

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. As long as you are gonna hide the hard corners where radio going I would do this way. Other wise I would stitch a corner in. Thanks for watching

[@cashcaldwell6588]

@@cabovergary ok I will give ‘er a shot. Thank you!

[@guol1806]

Looks great and the vinyl looks like a good color match. Where did you buy the vinyl?

[@cabovergary]

So I did that at my friends upholstery shop. He has like 100 rolls of gray and just matched it up with what he had. I would get you the number but I have no clue witch one it was now. Thanks for watching.

[@guol1806]

@@cabovergary sounds like I need to get to know the folks at my local shop.

[@kranz19]

Random question for ya Gary , do you know of any salvage yards in Texas that have FLA cabovers sitting in them? Also as usual enjoy all your videos !

[@cabovergary]

There is some out at Benny’s yard in west Texas. Email me at ghaack78@gmail and I’ll get you in contact with him. Thanks for that. I loose more subscribers when post on ford and 8n. As always thanks for commenting and watching

[@kranz19]

Okay thank you I'll give you an email

[@toddgibsonAZ]

I wouldn't have tackled mine without this finding your video. Thank you! Perfect

[@cabovergary]

Makes me happy to hear this. One of the main reason I do these videos.

[@willhart7861]

Looks good to me! 👍

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. Been really happy with it. It has held up well

[@garymeyer1162]

When are we going to see you out on the open road with the cab over? I don’t mind craftime with Gary but I’m waiting to see the ole girl out on the open road 🤠

[@cabovergary]

Haha, I been working some and did some filming but wasn’t happy with what I got. I will work on getting some up this week of the old girl working. Thanks as always for watching and commenting.

[@espeescotty]

One more step to a nice truck working for you. I read that comment about how you lose subscribers when you post vids with the tractor and the OBS. I lose subscribers with nearly every video I post. We'll never know what makes people jump ship. Just keep doing your thing. You'll get Ford guys in replacement for those that left. Oh, and those poor glasses! Yikes!

[@cabovergary]

Yea. I always thought people would skip then videos they didn’t want to see but I dunno. I’m just doing what I want. Lol. I love your videos. Yea, the glasses. That sucked. Lol.

[@espeescotty]
