I can't seem to find a place. I don't mind shipping it at all. But where can I get this done at?

I look at those new 911s with there hand stitched leather dash and I am envious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks


Kinda get the impression no one on the east coast does custom interior work.

Check with Craig at Camp914 (boxstr). I believe he has someone that does them for him. Not cheap, but very nice.

Found someone in NJ on Craigslist. Gonna take a look at his work. But if it is not so good I will send it to someone on the board. Already got his door panels and they look good(Sitting on my dresser still).

Definitely interested in finding the guy in NJ who does this. There is a marine upholstery shop down near my house that I have yet to check out. Need to finish painting the car before I can start thinking of the dash.

Let us know how it turns out.

He sent me a couple of pictures of stuff he did. Looks like good work although a bit cheesy but thats what the customer wanted.

Here is the email and info....

ford probe gt, for the dash i could do in like the criss cross, or baseball stitching what ever kind of stitch you want, it would be njice to take a look at your car first. Do you want to whole dash covered or half.
thanks,
steve

The first car doesnt look to well and it is in vinyl. The stitching does not look clean, and the bead on the door between the two vinyl types looks all jacked up. The second looks excellent. Vinyl is harder to work with than cloth. Not as streatchy and requires finess to heat it to get it to mold right to complex curves. However, if the price is right and he is willing to rework it until you are happy then go for it!

I think the door is still missing a trim peice. The seat yeah not the best.

I'm willing to let him try doing my dash.
Now how do I take the dash off the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


Oh by the way Dr Evil do you have a picture of one of the ones you got done so I can show him. I saw one in a thread here but I cannot find it now.

There are 13mm head plastic nuts that are a bit tough to get to but they are under there. Take off the lower knee pad dash piece and then take out the air vents. You'll be able to see/get to the plastic nuts...a bendable extension to the socket wrench is your friend...
