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 |

I just took mine to a buddy who does upholstery work to have it redone. He was intrigued by the factory vinyl. He said the same thing, that it's a very thin material, and is stretched, then heat (welded) at the seams. Said he could not replicate it. So I opted to have him use regular vinyl and sew the outside corner along the side panels.
I'll pick it up in a week or so, and let you know how it came out / and cost. His shop is in Santa Margarita, CA. -Don |
