Hey Stretch. Sorry for the long delay. i was on the road and then got busy. Anyways, i took a few pictures showing what the foam looks like underneath the vinyl and how the cover is coming along. I out the pictures in my photobucket account which i am linking at the end of this post.
Since i had already covered most of the dash, i could only take pictures of the few spots that were still kind of naked. you will still get an idea of what to expect though. Notice the small deformities and bumps in the foam where the vinyl didn't come off perfectly clean. Those are the areas you will have to fill up and sand down for a perfectly smooth cover. I also posted a picture of what the insulation foam looks like once its dried out. Since its a very thick paste coming out of a thick nozzle, its impossible to apply accurately . If i were to do this again, I would def. go with a plastic filler that i could apply with a brush for perfect filling.
I haven't yet cut out the holes for various panels and fixtures. That is something i am expecting difficulty with because i don't have any prior experience of upholstery or fabric covers. Lets hope it comes out well.
