    Completed interior restore on my 72 Challenger
    « on: March 19, 2016 - 01:53:59 AM »
    Took 6 weeks of evenings and weekends.  Here are some photos that summarizes all the work (Before, During, After)

    There is lots more to do on the car. For now I just want to drive it!

    Looks great!  I'm finishing up my sound deadener install and start on carpet this weekend.  I appreciate your pictures.

    That is a good question. I answered it on this thread.

    What are you using for sound deadener?

    What type of dash cover did you install? Did it install over the existing dash or did you remove old dash and install to steel frame?

    Noico...  I've never done this before so I can't compare, but it's pretty easy to use...

    Replacement dash pad starts at about $850. I didn't want to spend that much so I went with an Accu Form dash cap. This is a form fitting piece that is installed over the existing dash pad-

    Got the Challenger dash emblem here (The dash pad does not include an emblem)

    The dash pad looks pretty good without paying the price of a new pad

    Marcus...  thanks again for the pictures...  I'm working on the front carpet and man oh man the tolerance between where you cut the carpet and what's covered by the console is close on the drivers side... 

    I just about blew it and I thought I had kept things pretty tight.

    Yours looks great   :picture:
