$88 core charge. if you dont give me a core, i cant do another one

Nalga translates from Spanish as buttcheeks.

VERY cool, are you doing a service or only selling this one and getting a new core?
I have a dash, but it has a hard plastic topper on it now. I love the look of a stitched dash...but I don't how good my core would be.
Posted by: sean_v8_914 Apr 3 2014, 12:25 PM
as long as teh core has good under-structure and those plastic studs are all good. i have to pluck alot of th cracked crap off anyways. i pluck it off to give teh fg polyester resin something to grab to. its like bondo only better material
i like building things in batches so i did 3 and only needed 1

Shoot me a PM and we'll figure out the details, since I'm in the DC area (cross country)

same boat with mine cracked up, what is your turn around time normally?
Posted by: Mblizzard Apr 3 2014, 02:24 PM
Sean, I hate you! That is another $300 I am going to have to spend! Amazing work! Looks like it will be winter time before I can get to it but it is on the list.

when remving the dash, dont force anything. if it wont come off easy, you probably missed a plastic nut. ill post some pics of where the nuts are

here's the pic of the nine dash plastic bolts. this is not my pic, but as I am doing my windshield currently, mine was only held in by the center one. so taking it off was easy!!!

i just did another dash. its a late dash. this time I used a thin high density foam wrap under the vinyl. I don't have any early cores. some 914 world member gave me some free cores so if your core is crap, don't worry about it.

this one is a little less since I like it a little less than the last 2. im not in love with the rt corner of the gauge hood.
the white plastic screws are removable. the center of the screw has a square expander peg. this dash was saved with donor screws from a dash whos inner metal was rusted and crunchy
$331

thin leather should be cheaper, right? nope. its "$pecial"

does anyone local have a metal dash frame to donate? i want to experiment. some of yall mentioned a saggy dash. i havent seen one yet but some of teh cores once stripped feel flimsy. i want to try some different materials on teh really nasty cores.
Posted by: sean_v8_914 Jul 1 2014, 12:55 PM

I have one.
I also sent you a pm about the dash.

I need to replace the weathered, curling forward dash material on the 'BB'. Mark Whitesell sent me a roll of material , so when I pull the 'late' dash out, I may send it down to you to recover 
Posted by: sean_v8_914 Jul 10 2014, 10:24 AM
the imperfection is
post #19 first pic
post #20 first pic
gauge hood right side curve
its hard to notice, even harder to spot once installed
Posted by: dudzy's914 Jul 10 2014, 03:06 PM
what about doing the lower dash?
Posted by: sean_v8_914 Jul 11 2014, 11:37 AM
yes, ill do the lower dash for $300. less curves should make it a little easier
Posted by: dudzy's914 Jul 11 2014, 12:39 PM
What about the pad behind the dash?
Posted by: euro911 Jul 11 2014, 09:31 PM
Mark sells a reproduction piece for that area on 914rubber.com

Hi Sean,
I have been trying to reach you for about a week, could you contact me regarding the leather dash top and underdash?
Posted by: echocanyons Jan 25 2015, 03:08 PM
Hi Sean I have been patiently waiting to hear back from you for several weeks now.
follow-up
Thanks for contacting me, I look forward to completing this deal Sean
Posted by: euro911 Jan 25 2015, 05:46 PM
Looks like the last time he was on the board was 19th January 2015 - 08:34 AM
Sean is a pretty stand-up guy ... have you tried calling him? 
Posted by: echocanyons Jan 25 2015, 06:13 PM
I thought he was a stand-up guy too.
Last time I spoke with Sean he said he would call me right back, that was three weeks ago.
I have called multiple times, emailed, PM'd and texted him, his voicemail box has been full.
I'm willing to work with the guy but can't seem to contact him.

I have a core, email me info, phone # so I can call you,
Posted by: echocanyons Jan 26 2015, 12:07 PM
I did contact Sean, it looks like there was some family issues that prevented him from getting back with me, I am confident that we will finish the dash recover soon
Posted by: JmuRiz Jan 26 2015, 12:15 PM
Phew...good to hear, hopefully it's not bad family stuff.
I've been thinking about having him do my dash as well. It's a nice/upgraded look.
Posted by: euro911 Jan 26 2015, 04:52 PM
Sometimes life will throw a curve ball at any one of us.
Glad to hear your concerns were handled, and hoping all is well regarding Sean's family matters.
Posted by: echocanyons Apr 14 2015, 07:39 AM
this gauge hood was very deformed but its an early dash so I gotta fix it

Unfortunately this matter has still not been resolved, I am hopeful that Sean Malloy will do the right thing.
Posted by: sean_v8_914 Apr 14 2015, 01:03 PM
yes, I took too long on Kelly's dash. I am sorry about that. hopefull my revised methods will produce a result worht the wait.
in the future they will not take so dang long now that its all figured out.
