Nice work! Am doing this myself. Have you wrapped the A-pillars yet? Major PITA. Will probably have to use 2 pieces but am trying to find a way to wrap it with a single piece..

vikingramair

Yes i did my A-pillars- i streched the vinyl so much i could to get it in one piece so the struckture in the vinyl was deform. i will rewrap this now.

How are you planning on wrapping them? One piece or two pieces?

That is what happened to mine, vinyl just got so deformed looking. If you don't mind keeping me posted on how they turn out and how you did it, it would be appreciated..

Also when you did the T-top panels, did you start where the handle goes and work out? or did you start at one end and work to the other?

vikingramair

For t-top panels i started on one end but did the handle area before upper area. for the A pillars i trying to do it in one piece. i let you know later

Estimate on how much both doors and the dash will be? including glue? and about how long?

Looks really good! I really wanna do this! Since some of my pieces have cracks in them I need to cover up.. lol

I am using Weldwood Contact Cement and Vinyl you can get at Hobby Lobby. The glue is about $7.00 for 32oz at Wal-Mart. This should be enought to do the all the pieces. The Vinyl is usually $10.00 a yard but right now it is on sale for $7. I would think you could do both doors with no more than 3 yrds. That is erroring on the safe side, and as long as you don't have to redo any. But that is the hard part, for me anyway.

That looks sweet! Great job! Might have to try this sometime.

One A-pillar is done- managed to do this in one piece.

How did you manage that! That looks great! I already decided it couldn't be done and bought a sewing machine to seam it.

Is it all in the pattern or what?
WOW!

It just takes a lot of careful stretching. I did mine, and they came out great, but the bottom half (with the window vent) is really really tricky. At first it seems impossible, but with patience and alot of stretching, it works out fine.

Yeah that is where I am having the problem. Is there a way to cut the fabric out to make it easier? Did you start at a certain place? I am at a lose right now. I even had my wife look at it to see what she thought, cause she loves to do those 1000 piece puzzles. Ha Ha!

Man it looks freakin awesome now! My Vinyl will be here tomorrow so I guess I'll be trying to wrap my panels, I'm not going as all-out as you cause I don't think I have the patience..or skill lol.

vikingramair

FYI- I fu**ed up the other A-pillar so i must cut me a new piece and start over. It was in the vent area......How in the hell did i the first time???

I will try another approach by starting in the vent area.

i´m in the progress of wrapping the dash also, this time it seems to end up as i want Pics coming soon.

I wish a happy easter for all F-body lovers on LS1tech!

I was finally able to get one of the A-pillars to go mostly my way. It is not perfect but I can live with it. I will post some pics later.

I started at the vent area from the top and worked both sides at the same time. It worked out this time around, hopefully the other will do even better.

Good Luck!
