Re: My dashboard sneak peak/ how to?
yeah sure! I just did one with fiberglass and bondo and the bondo cracked I'm curious how you did yours.
Here's a pic of mine, the before looked very similar to yours! |

Re: My dashboard sneak peak/ how to?
I posted it before but here is mine repaired.
 repaired the cracks with fiberglass and filled in the defrost vents and speaker with fiberglass, then sanded and smoothed it out with bondo. able to wrap the whole top without and stitches. only stitch is the face of the dash right above the gauge bezel.

Re: My dashboard sneak peak/ how to?
Yah tweed is a lot more forgiving around corners and such. I could have wrapped mine with only one stitch in the middle but I like the baseball stitching. I will get a how to going soon when I have some free time. If you guys would like specific pictures of a section or so then I can collect them now and get them organized and ready. Here is a finished product

Re: My dashboard sneak peak/ how to?
What material did you use? Where is it from? How did you stick it on dash?

Re: My dashboard sneak peak/ how to?
That turned out great! Did you find it difficult to reinstall the covers for the defrost vents? I finished mine up last night.

Re: My dashboard sneak peak/ how to?
No if anything I liked the fit better with the extra layer leather. Made it look more refined. The only toug part was it took a little massaging to get back in the truck
