Yup, right over the vinyl...I covered the speaker grill too. Sanded it with sandpaper and scuff pads, cleaned it REAL well, and applied the resin and let it dry between coats (will vary on mixed ratio)

That is looking nice Jeff. Now post some more pics of the dash and the rest of the truck while you are at it . I will say that you are the first person I have ever seen that installed an Autometer clock .

If that's the ticket, maybe I should ditch mine too.

What did you use for the heaters in the seats? This mod is definitely on my to do list, but Im not to the stage of redoing my seats just yet.

turbo350 · 03-25-2011, 10:46 PM

Jeff that looks great! I know what you mean about hard to find garage time with a couple little 'uns running around

Bought them from a local upholstery shop. Not sure on the brand, but it is the only one they install...they seem to like them.
