Default Did some interior work

So I added the console cover and some seat covers to protect the seats. I also fixed the bubble on the 3lt dash. Think it turned out pretty good

Well done.

I'm sure a lot of forum members would like to know how you successfully repaired the bubble on your dash.

Was pretty simple. Since i just noticed it starting to bubble about a month ago i used a heat gun and a felt tipped squeeze to put it back down. I used the heat gun on medium and just heated it up and then put pressure across a small area. Kept going alittle at a time until it was all down Has held for 3 days so we will see. i have a few other areas that i need to glue by the vents but have to decide what glue i want to use but they are hard to see right now so no problem.

I'm guessing the dash might need an injection of fresh adhesive sooner or later. Hopefully not.

The seat covers look factory. Mind sharing what brand and/or store you bought it from? On the seat emblems, they're available at corvettemods.com at $15 each.

Very Nice job on the dash repair, let's ALL keep our fingers crossed. If repair holds up may end up with a successful career in 3LT dash repair.

I hope not. I was going to use some glue but was worried when it drys you could see the outline of the hardened glue

seat covers are sandyeggodesigns. Thanks for the emblems

That's a GREAT point..... ^^^^

Slow and easy should be adhered to. Don't want to do anything rash when there's no rush in doing so. Not spending $3K is a significant motivation for the process you've discovered.....
