if the dash cracks no one will ever know because it's covered by the foam padding and pretty thick vinyl covering

73chevyman · 01-19-2009, 11:05 PM

thats true looks fresh though can't wait to see the finish interior mines a little more ruff lol

kevinr1970 · 01-21-2009, 12:34 AM

I don't know how I missed this before?!?
I think I would rather do that than spend the ~$400 for a new one!
Have you had a chance to mount the trim to it and mounted it? Pictures please!!!

no i haven't had the trim mounted to it yet, but i have had one done before and had no problems with it. i cut this dash to fit my tv so it will be a bit different.

69face · 01-26-2009, 09:22 PM

i got most of the trim pieces out to redye and dyed them. i have to get the kick panels and the door panels out to finish up.

Looks really good. What did you use to ReDye them? (you had to know that was coming

) What would you say the quality and...uhhh, "Last-ability" of the dye job is?

i bought it from classic industries last time i was there. the brand is OER. it was expensive( bought 4 at 17 dollars each) as heck. it sprayed very well. as far as the lasting part. we'll see. next time i'm going to try this vinyl paint they have at home depot. it's made by rustoleum and i haven't had an issue with them thus far in life.

Blitz · 01-27-2009, 01:56 AM

Sounds good. Thanks for the info. I've never had to use stuff like that...yet. But I was considering some for the future.

**ScottH** · 01-27-2009, 04:32 PM

Truck is lookin great. If u want to sell those 17" wheels/tires drop me a PM.

Chlsnk · 01-27-2009, 05:39 PM

Stay away from the rustoleum plastic paint it chips very easy .You are basicly buying latex spray on paint when you buy the rustoleum stuff. Looks good im am fiberglassing my dash and tips on how you did yours?

silvereagle07 · 01-28-2009, 10:53 PM

Looks like a solid truck. Looking good! Do you have the wheels on the truck yet? Dash pad looks great.

69face · 01-29-2009, 01:12 AM

Wheels are on tomorrow afternoon. I had to renegotiate my stance with the 285/35/22 tires. I have a set of 2 inch springs and a set of 3 inch springs and i put in the 3 inch springs and the stock wheels rub the inner fenders. I just painted them and would like to keep them, so for now i have taken out the rear shackle to give me a total of 5 inches rear and put the 2 inch springs up front to give me a 5 inches up front. I think i'll end up swapping the springs and getting rid of the fender wells eventually

manimal · 01-29-2009, 09:57 AM

WOW! Looks great!
