A local upholstery shop did them for me and they sent off the top piece to embroider. It is EXACTLY the same.

Yea i think the heat did it, seems all the F-bodies I've seen have the cracked dash.

Yea, I say start with getting the car running right and then worry about cosmetics of the car. Which is what I did.

The third gens are slowly coming up.. right now, a ton of LT1's are sitting out rotting their life away.

Glad I could save this one!

Beautiful car. It's not just the car, it the fun of bringing it back and making it your own. The brakes and handling package make me want to go out and do that to mine.

Wow, car looks great!!!!

I love seeing these cars "come back" before they were too far gone.

I have performed a similar resto on my 96 M6 Z28.

WTF was going on with that dash? I know there isn't enough room to be having sex up there, or at least not good sex.
