Hello Mike;
I have a replica dash lined up and was wondering if you'd perform
the work ?
Kurt
Hi Kurt,
Sorry, I don't cover parts, but I do sell bulk matching leathers
and vinyls..
Here are some pointers:
1. Install all the parts FIRST.
Install everything, vents / gauges / brackets / door
panels / everything into the car.
When it’s all perfect THEN remove it / dismantle it / and
upholster the parts.
It’s more work but the only way to get a perfect job.
2. Have the upholsterer cover the fiberglass with a thin layer of ‘Closed Cell Foam’
and sand smooth,
prior covering.
He should know what closed cell foam is, also know as ‘Landau
Pad’.
This will give the finished parts that stiff ‘factory feel’.
Don’t use a sponge foam like headliner, this gives the parts a
puffy ‘home made’ look.
3. Use high heat contact cement, the top of a dash gets very
hot, cheap glue melts and all you work goes down the drain.
Thank you,
MrMike
