Thumbs up Interior Pics

I finally put everything back together after what seemed like forever. This is a picture of my newly re-covered dash, and my newly purchased billet dash bezel, shifter, and you can see the billet trim piece on the passenger side. Although it was not my first choice, I covered the dash using black felt material. Up next I'm really wanting to get a new steering wheel....... We'll see though.

While I was at it, I covered the wood grain piece of my door panel, with the same black felt I used on the dash. I also ordered the carpeted lower door panels to cover two HUGE holes in the doors (The previous owner(s) made ridiculous cuts into the doors for speakers)...

I just started with the largest flat surface, and glued the material down using 3M spray adhesive. Then once that set I just started stretching the material over corners and gluing it down. I was easier that I expected. The material has to be fairly stretchy too, as was the black felt I used.

I ordered it online @ http://www.trucknvans.com/billetacc/

It was 150 for the dash bezel and the trim piece on the passenger side.
I think I found that site because Mike (swervin ervin) recommended it to someone on another thread. Thanks Mike!
