the tweed was glued..... u need to get the yellow glue for upolsrty work... comes in galloons.... u spray the panel and the tweed and lay it .... start at the lowest part..... since tweed is a mesh form, u can work it around the curves...... practice first though....... don't pull too hard either since it will bunch up on u....... it took about 3 hours to wrap all my pieces... my brother in law does uplostry in texas and was in town and did it for me but i did one panel......

Looking good, just one observation:
The brackets by the instrument panal would look better if the corners were radius like the dash instead of the sharp corners and contoured with the dash under that part.
Not trying to be critical of your hard work, hella of a lot better then I could ever do, it just looks awkward to me for some reason. Would look more customized with the radius corners.

i'm probably gonna remake the gauge cluster anyways since i don't really like it 100%....... i think more of a curved setup would look better....... no big deal since i do all the work anyways...... i'll try to get some more pics in a better area other than my backyard........
