Part I
This weeks Pull-A-Part project is turning a good 86 blue dash pad into a replacement for my cracked 88 gray pad. Found this great dash pad at Pull a Part for only $6.37, then got some Charcoal Gray vinyl/ fabric paint for $7.00. Cleaned up the donor pad with some soap and water blew off the water with the compressor hose and allowed the oven like shop to dry out the rest. Applied some adhesive promoter, and then a thin coat of gray, allowing a few minutes between coats I added a couple more coats of gray.
Part II
Stay tuned for install of the tipp'n meter, removal/ install of old and new pads.
