    I had a 95 BMW M3 that had the headliner start drooping....took it to a guy in downtown Orlando, FL who worked on nothing but European cars. We talked about his methods and he showed me the 3M adhesive he used, which came in 5-gallon buckets which he described as "extremely expensive." Which explains why the average Joe doesn't use it. Also explains why he charged $500 to restore that headliner. Thanks for this....your patience and craftsmanship is truly impressive.

    What I enjoy so much Mike is that you are not Afraid to Venture into New territory you Head straight forward and you take us with you for the adventure and if anything happens we experience it with you Nothing Fake about you and Thank you for being the Real Deal, it keeps everything Fresh and interesting, unlike another channel I won't mention their name that record's and repeats the same boring Bullshit Can I get All my Chins and Fat Ass in this Copart Tesla 🤣 or and thinks because of the friend's he's purchased Who praise him, he thinks he's got it all together. He's such a Sandy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    My dad was an upholster for years, ran his own shop and did alot of restoration work like you have done on this dash. I think he would have been proud of the way you worked through this process. The white pad you had you could have glued it to your vinyl first and it would have been easier to work with, but I think the dash turned out great without the padding.

    Man you've taken on a challenge. But you'll do I have faith in you . I'm glad it's you and not me . If it was me it'd be in the junk pile for sure .

    You are truly The Bob Ross in car art.
    With a lot of patience m8 i for sure kicked everything through my garage.
    I had the same sort problem with blackening out the windows of my car.
    But after many tries the window is still in there and yesss they are black;)

    Those results were amazing once you figured how to work the vinyl. The end result made me think of the top end of '70 challenger dashboard fresh from factory. Great job!
