Looks great. I like the black dash. It looks rich and not chopped up like some I've seen.

Wow! Quite an improvement. Taking the whole interior apart seems daunting to me, and something that I don't think that I would ever attempt. But you did it and the results are spectacular.
Well done.

Nice job. The reverse colors makes sense to me because the part that's going to get dirty is now black rather than some light color.
What holds these seat covers on...hog rings? Was it a PITA to do?

Very nice, well done !!!!

Do you want to share where you got the seat-covers? Are they full leather instead of the mix leather/vinyl/cloth?

Thanks, Sonny
