 PROJECT: Passenger
Side Dash Upholstery. (Keep in mind that this piece had already
been body worked, carefully fit to the rest of the dash, and primed with black
primer). To begin, a neatly trimmed piece of 1/8 inch thick black felt was
glued to the face of the fiberglass part using 3M spray adhesive. Next, a piece
of black vinyl was stretched over the entire dash section
(later the vinyl can be used as a pattern for leather).
Working in a clockwise direction, the covering was slightly and carefully
stretched and clamped every few inches. The process was repeated until all
of the wrinkles disappeared and the vinyl was stretched evenly and tightly over
the part. Some areas needed to be stretched much more than
others to obtain the desired fit. Lastly, the covering was trimmed and
glued along the back edges (directly to the fiberglass) then allowed to set
overnight before removing the clamps....
Labor: One
evening. Parts: felt, vinyl, clamps, and 3M spray
adhesive. Estimated cost: 15 dollars a
day
