I am up to the point off finishing my dash. I got my new dash face material from Pelican but it didn't include the part between the padded section and the windshield or the gauges. My dash was covered with what looks like rollbar vinyl on the face,gauge plate and on the top. Does anyone have pictures of what it should look like originally or al least know what they are supposed to be cover with?

Hi, Around the gauges should be painted semi-flat black. The area towards the windshield is padded and covered with vinyl.

Here's a couple of pix's from my 74. Note no fogs. I see I need to do some cleaning. Funny the digi camera makes the inside look worse but is oh so kind to the outside Dave Attached image(s)

Some cars had smooth vinyl and others had basket weave for the dash area. Its a pain do this correctly. I highly suggest you add more material than the factory did. The glue we have now is EPA friendly and doesnt work anywhere near as good as the stuff Porsche had.
Take the current crap off and add an inch of material to the total (all the way around. Tis way your upper dash and lower dash help keep the new material in place. B |

To add to what Brad said...
When you strip the old crap off - clean, clean, clean. Any old glue residue or dirt found under the old vinyl will be visible when you cover with new vinyl... especially if you decided to go with a smooth vinyl like I did. The basket-weave textured stuff is more forgiving. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
