The stitching on your dash looks perfectly straight.
Very clean !

That is by far the nicest dash I've seen. Love the stitching.

Very timely as I was just contemplating the topic of having my dash recovered in leather the other day.

Inspirational Work.

The dash looks great, but I'm really loving the front bumper. FG?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Car looks incredible. Really interesting bumper. Did you have that made? What's the story on it?

The bumpers front and back are all metal, as are the rockers and of course the flares (thanks to Pete at Restoration Design... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif))

I never did like the rubber bumper tops and the 916 style FG bumpers we were looking at installing were really not up to the quality we were aiming for. A little more work, but I really think that they turned out great...and one of a kind. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Beautiful work on everything. That is the nicest looking leather dash I have ever seen on a 914. The bumper modifications are just right too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
