Dash pads

Wow! That really looks nice! I'm still undecided if I'm going to fill in the dash pad holes or find a good pad core and have it covered. For the money you have invested you really knocked it out of the park.

I live in a very rural area. There isn't an upholstery shop within 200 miles so I'm still really undecided. I have Barracuda bucket seats and want to have those, the rear seat, the door cards done in the original style but in a ox blood red. I need to find a good upholstery shop before I paint the interior. I want all the metal interior parts to match the seats, carpet, door cards, and headliner.

I didn't watch the upholstery shop do it, but I don't believe it was all that difficult for someone who does that work professionally. It took me forever to have the paint store to have the dye mixed to match gold poly, and it was the same store that mixed the paint for the interior gold poly and spring yellow paint for my car!

Maybe you could get a recommendation for a quality upholstery shop from a local street rodder or classic car enthusiast. In my experience, upholstery work is like paintwork, if done poorly once, you'll end up paying twice to have it done properly.
