    there should be 4 10mm bolts (socket I used) holding the dash in. One on the passenger side, one on the driver side behind the cluster, and two in the plastic near where the lower cluster screws are.

    Awesome Interior. Looking forward to see the rest. Im working on building a truck at the moment. Hoping to hit slamology and camp n drag this summer. Anyways may be a dumb question but what did u use to get the tweed to stick to the dash. Ive used 3m spay adhensive in the past and it bled through the fabric i was using. Maybe i sprayed it on too heavy dunno.

    DisAster did you ever finish your doors and seats, if so could you post some pics.
    The tweed you used is the name mariner? From the pics I think we have the exact same color, from what you posted the pics are sweet.

    What adhesive did you use? I tried some from lowes awhile back and it lifted after a year or so. Now I wanna do some tweed and dont want it to lift this time

    I used the 3M, the green can (90). They make a red can as well, I believe the number is (87). Go with the red, I live in Guam and the weather here is brutal. Glue hasn't failed yet, going on 3 years.

    HALMS, I did get the door panels finished, but not seats. I got the material from a fabric store. Don't know brand or company. It was just rolled up tucked back in a corner. If I can find the same material, I will get the seats recovered.
    And yota4life, I think the adhesive I used was loctite professional grade. I used 2 different kinds. One was in a red can, the other in a grey can. Don't remember which one was better. I know one came out more spider webby, (sorry, don't know how else to explain that, lol).
    If I can figure out how to post pics, and I find the ones I took, I will post them.

    3m super 77 and super 90 work great. I used 90 to do my new door panels, and the same can to glue down the carpet I installed. I also used 3 layers of carpet jute pad to leek out the floor pan. I didn't like the raised and low spots from the factory.
