looks nice! i wish I have the guts to tackle something like this. or the funds.

The suede cost me $8.50 for a square yard, it's quite inexpensive. And all of the paint I am using can be found at Pep Boys.

DECK & DASH...DONE!!!

Yep, the fingers are taking a beating...

but didn't you redesign the center console? fiberglass, i'm assuming? i know there was another thread on this where you were beginning the project, but haven't seen that for a while. Besides, if I started with one part, it would look bad with just a suede dash. I'd have to do the whole interior, and I'm just not that creative. Maybe the finished product will inspire me to work hard this summer.

How is the suede wraped? Did you use some form of adhesive or clips?
Are you gonna do the headliner as well? I thought about wraping those pieces also but instead I dyed the headliner and reardeck.

Well, I purchased suede samples from a variety of different websites and actually found the faux seude from distincitvefabric.com to have the best stretch and softest feel. It's a meager $8.50 per sqyd! I purchased 10 yards total, since I knew I would chew through some in ye-olde-trial-and-error stages. The adhesive is pretty pricey at $10 per can, you can find it at the HD. Now, if I possed a consumate ability to do things perfect on the first try, I would have only needed 5sqyds. But I'm not. I messed this up ALOT getting it to work, so make sure you have some extra on hand!!!

Those lines are for the relief cuts I will need to make for the air vents...shoulda noted that ahead of time.

One question: How are you going to have the passenger airbag setup?

(1) Me = HD Interior Mod King...?
(2) You = HD Mod King of EVERYTHING else.

Again, all of the OEM parts on the dash will be reinstalled...that's why if you see sagging somewhere, expect a relief cut.

I love DIY stories! You are truly brave for taking on a task like this...I'd be scared sh*tless to take apart my dash like that!
