Do you have speaker grilles? Or are they going to be left exposed? ------------------

Thanks F-I-E-R-O
whadeduck, that`s the way the speakers came. I know sitting upright like that they will be exposed to dust and sunlight but they weren`t real expensive.

Thanks, guys for the comments
I was thinking of going with red carbon fiber for the instrument panel and radio/climate control panel but now I`m not sure. I guess I could also either go with red plastic or sheet metal painted red. Any suggestions?

I am finding out that in upholstery work if you think you are cutting vinyl a little long go ahead and cut it a little longer because there are a few places where I almost ran out of material and had to stretch it a bit more. I have also found out that contact adhesive works well but on edges I like to use hot glue because that stuff will really hold. Of course, being my first real vinyl dash work only time will tell about durability when I get this dash mouted in my car and it sits in 100 degree weather.

Well I got the dash partially covered this weekend. I still have to cover the instrument console hump and put the hinge on the glove box door. I think since the cover plate for the radio and instruments will be red I`m going to paint the defroster vent grille red also.

Oh my! I have been away from this thread for a while and you have made great progress. I'm really pleased you went ahead and did the glove box it really looks nice now...
