this is a late model dash. covered in genuine nalga hide. i killed 3 nalgas with my bare hands to do this dash. they will not fight nor bite as you attempt to install them in your 914.
$88 core charge. if you dont give me a core, i cant do another one

Nalga translates from Spanish as buttcheeks.

...and I jumped 3.
talk about taking one for the team. im there for ya

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.

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?

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.

Buenas. Nalgas popular bumper sticker in Cabo

I have core dash pads piling up if you need some.

Sean,
That looks great, nice work.

i was incomunicado since Thursday . cox changed the pop server name so outlook had me thinking i had no emails. I was also in prep for the San Diego gran Fondo 100 mile bike race

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

bump

Shouldn't you be checking your email about now ?

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

ash tray delete coming soon
getting ready to do one in real leather also. i hope the leather cooperates . it would be an expensive mistake
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.

i want to wrap it with a blemish mistake skin and leave it in teh sun and weather to test aging

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

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

what about doing the lower dash?

yes, ill do the lower dash for $300. less curves should make it a little easier

What about the pad behind the dash?

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?

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

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?

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,

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

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.

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.

Unfortunately this matter has still not been resolved, I am hopeful that Sean Malloy will do the right thing.

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.
