Hi Michael, in leather they do it in two parts, then it is easier do glue it one the dash.

[@MrJearley6]

This looks great !

[@johnhansen4550]

Great video- don't be ashamed of the quality....you're doing great work!

[@rennch.]

Thanks man...much appreciated!

[@schmidt28117]

Great to find your videos. I was a long time listener of the solopreneur podcast. Thanks for all the great content.

[@rennch.]

You say "was" like you don't listen anymore. :) Thanks man!

[@JoeEngineer]

Pretty rad repair. Looks pretty low risk; if you screw up the vinyl, oh well try again. I have a spare dash I may try this on. Thanks!

[@rennch.]

yea it worked out! TRE Motorsports has a KILLER new dash that's totally different than the others on the market now. I'd probs go that rout.

[@quemada100]

Well done, that looks amazing..👍

[@StevenVigus]

Nice video, Michael. I forgot how nasty those old school dashes get in the hot California sun...

[@rennch.]

Steve Vigus thanks! I think Colorado is responsible for this one, but it was a fun project!

[@bfpv6803]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Great job on the dash.

[@rennch.]

Thanks so much! It was a fun project for sure.

[@musclecarczarig4003]

Turned out really good!

[@rennch.]

Next time I'll do leather. :)

[@warpspeed9877]

Never heard of felt? You work on old dashboards to fill in and smoothen any cracks or missing material and you put some felt "paint" on them. Looks like velvet cloth. Used in all race cars.

[@crs290]

Good job! For future endeavors, I've found it easier (somewhat) to work the dash from one side to the other, rather than from front to back. It seems counter-intuitive, but it works better for me. You have less material to work at any given time and you run into fewer big areas to make corrections. Just a suggestion; you seemed to have it well in hand.

[@rennch.]

I love to see how a pro does it! I'm sure I'll tackle it again someday. I think my vinyl wrapping is much better now.

[@hughchamberlain5018]

Would you recommend covering the dash pad with vinyl wrap as used on auto bodies? I'd like to cover my pad with carbon fiber vinyl wrap. What do you think?

[@rennch.]

No, I don’t think that would be a good idea, unless you make it from fiberglass or something and the bodywork is perfect

[@cam3002]

Thanks for sharing the "How To", turned out very nice. Did you have to remove your windshield first? I'm considering doing mine in Flock.

[@rennch.]

Yea, it was already out. I'm not sure if it's totally necessary, but it certainly makes it easier!

[@SERVITE888]

Wow!!

[@alberdellbruegge7901]

thanks man!

[@shanepavonetti1538]

Great work - I am about to tackle this myself. Would you mind telling me where you sourced the vinyl and what glue products you used? Thanks!

[@rennch.]

I got the glue products at a marine supply shop. The vinyl came from a vinyl shop in SoCal. But every area should have an automotive textile supplier nearby.

[@stevenkranick2823]

Where did you source the vinyl for this dash? Thanks

[@rennch.]

Local spot here in SoCal. It's available at any auto upholstery shop though. Look for two way stretch vinyl.

[@alexandermikhailov2481]

It's a very useful video, thank you. Even more could be achieved if the camera showed more of the action and less of the author's back 😉

[@mestasmail]

you need my moms hobby glue gun lol
