Does anyone have a how to on wrapping a dash in tweed or vinyl? Or anyone done it and have any tips? After going back and forth about painting mine I thought about cloth wraps and I just figured I'd ask u all for opinions... Thanks guys

I wrapped all of my interior in tweed it's pretty easy to work with. It doesn't stretch at all but is easy to hide seams in. Here's some pics of how I did mine. I had a solid 6 hours in it. The top and sides are all 1 piece. The bottom is I think 6 separate pieces I put seams in the corners

This is the glue I used. I sprayed it on with an old siphon feed gun

Thats pretty nice, did it contour very easily?
Most dash work I've seen done is in vinyl and the old heat gun helps stretch but tweed isn't as flexible I thought.

Tweed doesn't stretch at all buy since its woven together you can shift it to get around the bends. Here's a pic of the rest of the interior

I wasn't into the tweed just seeing the dash but with it all together I like it very much. Nice work Mazdizzle!!! Great attention to detail!!! Dan
