Redoing the redone dash...in fake suede

The last dash panel I made came out terribly but since it worked I left it for the time being. Since its snowy outside and the car can't be driven I decided to go for round 2.

I used the rest of the 1/4" lexan from the windshield since the 1/8" that was used before was just too flexible. Then I got some expensive looking fake suede and Loctite super spray adhesive and went to work.

Since I had dash cover pieces I decided to do them instead of ruining the actual dash, plus there a hell of a lot easier to get off



I sprayed both the panel and the fabric. If too much adhesive goes on the fabric it will soak through and ruin the whole thing.



Cutting the excess fabric



Once dried it was test fitted






The 1/4 lexan after the getting a few holes drilled



Completed the cutting



Test fitting the switches and gauge


Everything in: windows, hazards, oil pressure gauge, battery gauge, temp gauge, ignition, and cigarette lighter for radar detector/g-meter


Now that everything is in place all that is left to do is wire it all up and secure the panels.
