My local upholsterer called and told me to come and get my dash. He tried 4 times, I don't know if it might have been acceptable for the time being as he had stripped off the last try.
Ok, let me hear "I told you so"
my plans now are to box it up and send it to a more industrialized part of the country.
JTpantera, I spoke about 5 minutes with Mario, told him You recommended him and got him to give me a quote that seems pretty good. (well under $500).
If anyone else cares to share the name of someone that could do a two pod dash, I would appreciate.
Now to find a 60 X 12 X 12 cardboard box
The dual pod is a 'sucker'. Anyone who speaks casually about it I would suspect no experience with.
They need to show me pictures of the ones they have done for verification.
Where the pod "snoods" meet the dash is very difficult to get "just right".
I never underestimate the skills of the Italian seamstresses. I've seen the ones that sew in house for Ferrari. They are simply amazing.
The original materials are so thin and the threads have to be just right.
I went to a single pod. It is much easier to deal with.
