It's 3:19 am and I finished the friggin dashboard restoration.
I made a new "dash face" by cutting out a template for the old face out of formica and then adhering the older-style basketweave material do it. This took an evening. This also allowed me to delete the seatbelt warning light. Then I cleaned up the old dash, and repainted the front side and openings with satin black paint. Using the old dash top covering material, I cut a new "under pad" from foam, and a new dash top from black vinyl. (IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/images/dscn2363.jpg) I glued the foam to the dash and let dry and then glued the vinyl to the dash, trimmed, and let dry. Then I adhered the new dash face to the dash frame with double-sided sticky tape. I also made a new covering for the glove box door. I installed the new dash pad and the previously restored lower dash pad. New lenses for the switch assemblies, NOS blower control unit I sldo fitted the DIN frame for the new stereo head unit. Voila! Restored dashboard assembly! (IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/images/dscn2364.jpg) |
