I have started thinking about the interior lately and what to do with my stock 71 dash. At first I was going to upgrade it to a later style dash and accent it with the carbon fiber inserts that you can get from the vendors. Then I thought about covering my stock dash in leather. I found some shops that would recover my dash with real leather for $2000. The fiberglass replacement dashes of the later style dash will cost you about $350 from the vendors. That price does not include upholstery. I then talked to Pantera by Wilkinson who quoted me about $650 for the later style dash in carbon fiber, or $1300 for a fiberglass dash with leather upholstery. And if you add up the cost difference between re-upholstering your entire console and dash or buying carbon fiber, it's an easy decision. One week later I received my carbon fiber dash and the upper console which joins it to the floorboard, the look absolutely top notch. Wilkinson has the best quality on these pieces.
I also included a picture of the Sparco seats I am installing in the car. This week will also see the front windshield installed in the car.
