Very very very ugly!
You should give a carpet knife a try for cutting that dash foam. Extremely fine thin blade that is sharp as hell as nd the corners are rounded and equally sharp.
I redid the interior of my grandads 76 dodge prospector extended cab farm package. No headliner vinyl arm rests dash etc. I refinshed the door panels with a rough stone look. Made arm rests out of back walnut with a southwestrn design inlay on the edge. I used fleckstone to cover the panels. The inlay set in black walnut replacing the chrome strip from left to right across the dash then copied the contour of the plastic dash with one big piece of black walnut. Made an over gead console with the inlay has scissor lift radar detector and storage. The backseat area has fold out seats from the left and right. I fleckstones the plastic paneling and replaced the chrome with a strip of walnut with the inlay. Did away with manual locks and manual windows. Gonna shave the door handles next.
Im curious as to the life span of the paint youre using on the dash. And would a clear uv protection help stop the sun from killing it so fast
Ever think about making a template to conform to the dash and then make a leather dash cover to adhere to the dash once you sand cut and fill the defects.
Im not sure if the average joe realizes how fing hard it is to get a dash out much less to get it back in after you rebuilt it. I wouldnt recommend it to 70% of the mechanics i know.
The dash needs some drug treatment.
It's on !CRACK! Man I learn something every day thanks for
The fine job you did.
Is that an A1 vw rabbit?
Thanks!, Nice vid. Would a little rubbing with some 0000 Steel Wool take down the sheen?
One thing very important clean all armorall off of dash more than once, or it will all fish eye, good video
