Good job! I went through the same thing a few months ago on my 78. The dash was in very bad shape & brittle. Looks beautiful now with the new one. Wound up replacing everything that needed to be replaced to look new again including the new carpet kit. Good luck with your project
Something useful would be if you could post what tools (interior kit) and leather seat covers you bought (where). You could do an affiliate link to make a little coin if we buy the same stuff through your link. Great videos!
In order to restore this dashboard you give it a light coat of bondo and then you go to the fabric store and you buy the thin vinyl and upholstery glue. You can make it look brand new but you need a heat gun. Buy at least twice as much fabric as you need because you're going to screw up and have to start completely over it's almost guaranteed at least once... part of the learning process
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and help us all out! Greatly appreciated
my pleasure
