The cost on the interior was covering only, I cleaned everything up and installed sound deadener myself before the shop got it.

how long have u had the leather dash? does it take the sun well? Im really thinking about taking this idea to the fabric shop

I had it covered 2 yrs ago and has held up fine. I use the meguiars leather wipes to clean it and works great.

Theres plenty you can do to your dash that people dont realize and can be cheap i think bondo and fiber is crap specially bondo dont it experts tell me to put paste.Just paste the cracks and sand it all down and paint it.If you want to get technical and vinyl it.It can be done on your own but i dont recommend you doing it with out a professional however they charge you threw the roof on something you can learn.Or you can leather it up.Im in this position right now for my whole cab im leathering up my bench seat but painting my dash paint is best as i think it is orig that way and oem..Theres plenty of articles or forums i can show you if you need help

Hell of an idea that only the genius of a Hoosier could create!!

Not sure if you've already seen this from where I posted it before, but I had it done on the inside of an old truck tool box. It went from being old and grimy and disgusting to BETTER than new!

That is a good idea..
