Is the difference worth $6.50 ?

 

Not bad!
Was this the work of the 4-pack of silver "Sharpie" pens?
Beats buying new parts...

 

Here is another cheep trick. I used weatherstrip adhesive to hold the seem around the sun visors. No need at this time to send the in to be recovered. Saved $50+.

 

That will work, esp. on black ones. Contact cement will work on other colors.

I did mine a different way - I gave them to my mom (retired & bored) to extract the old thread and resew with just the right color thread... In the factory holes, too!!
I used 100% polyester thread to hopefully keep it from deteriorating quickly.

 

Hey Rob! I love your new signature pic!!

j.p.

 

Very nice! Can you share the secret with me? I'm at about this point on my '70. Just about to pull the dash.

thanks,

j.p.

 

Reallly nice Work !!!!!!!

I will recover the sunvisors soon, too.....

Good trick with the seam.....

I will use black vinyl with foam on the back and glue everything, i also thought about glue down the seem aroung the sunvisors....

Keep us posted!!!!!!

Thanks for Sharing!!!

This what it looks like with the clips on it, that I used.

 

Looks good! Really freshens things up. So, was it a Silver Sharpie or a Silver Paint pen or ???? I've got $6.50 burning a hole in my pocket.

 

AHHH

Thats the trick.....

It turns out really good!!!! also with the outlets.....
I like that!!!

I have to give the credit to Jon442 - he is the photoshop Michelangelo!

It was a silver sharpie pen. (Now he will have to kill me...)
I am gonna try it and see if it comes out as good as his. His advice was to apply one coat and wait a while before applying another coat.
