Adding this thread to cover some dashboard work.
So the 68' I am restoring came with two dashboards. If anyone has priced getting these recovered its a lot of coin. The alternatives are to recover using stitching around the gauge pods or use a combination of paints including underbody coating to approximate the original finish. When I saw some of the hand stitched dashes I thought they looked nice and might be within my skills. I was sort of right there.
So here is what I started with. It has the typical crack at the heat ducts and other damage.
