Anyone had success with recovering a console close to stock Options

[Strudelwagon]

Hi,
has anyone had any success reupolstering a console with gauges? The one I have is looking pretty beat. I'm asuming that the under board is some sort of pressed cardboard and I'm wondering how the did that stitching thing down the center of each side.
anyway, If someone would know, it would be you guys.

Thanks
Steve

Hi : As it happens I have been woundering the same thing, I have 1 with the vinyl

pulled of the frame ready to recover. And another one ready for that.

From another project I know the vinyl is very expencive , The guy i am makeing

a coustom gauge panel for had to order a ridiculous amount . At a ridiculous

price ! On to your Ques. that stiching on the enges is from a piecs of plastic , with

the stich pattern in it . I imagine they have a porcess ( much like Vaccum Forming

the sucks the vinyl in to those littlt spaces ) I will leave those on the console I

recover as it ,IMO leaves a more finished look. You will also need to find a sourse

for the thin foam padding that goes under the vinyl. If you do let me know as i

need it for both projects. Try fabric shops that sell to sowers and quilters.
