Dennis did it again!
I've been waiting on this for some time, and Dennis pulled it off for me. I was going to recover my dash myself, but Dennis stepped in and convinced me to allow him the opportunity to do a Better job than I might have done. He knew he could do it and this certainly looks fantastic. I'll install it in a couple of weeks but for now here are the photos he sent.
REAL Red leather dash. It's a worthy upgrade!

Wow that looks really good. I have considered having this done myself and so I have a question for you.
I have read and spoken to several individuals who state that a dash top in a bright color (i.e. other than black or beige) will reflect itself in the windshield during the day to the point of being annoying.
After you install the dash and have had it for a while I would appreciate it if you would come back to this post and give us your driving impressions.
Thanks! Have long admired your Vette

OK, guess I'm a newbe when it comes to this and I have questions.
1. Who is Dennis?
2. Does he have a web site?
3. Cost to do something like this?

Dennis is the owner of Double D Mods, a forum vendor.
Yes he has a website: www.doubledmods.com.
Cost to do something like that - best to just contact Dennis and get a quote.
And yes, he does excellent work.

Here is a pic of a dash I dyed to match the interior of my former 87. This color really reflected onto the windshield and made it tough to drive on sunny days. I had to purchase a used stock one in order to eliminate the problem.
