Hello Mike I think you could use a foam backed headliner to cover the horse hair, it is a little more dense than regular foam. Cheers .

Hello Americanix Thats a great idea! I love that stuff.. its plenty sticky and supple.. not sure how it would make the two complex inside radiuses but would be nice to try and experiment with thicknesses. Thanks for the excellent suggestion!

Hi Mike! Great job! Another method I found to restore or 'conserve' the horsehair pads is to spray them with a liquid natural latex. Which is normally used for making gypsum casting moulds. I used this technique on my BMW 2002 Touring's seats pads and they look just like new! Keep making these great videos, thanks.

Jasper Demeulemeester does that allow for flexibility? I am going to restore my original sound pad from my engine compartment and it needs the horsehair stabilized, but also needs to be flexible.

Fantastic job as usual Mike. Was really interesting seeing what the dash was made of. I love how you explain everything both good and bad. It really shows how much work is involved in doing things properly. P.S. Car in phone booth comment made me chuckle, lol. Rob.

Thanks Mike. Great video as always. My '67 dash is in pretty good shape, as I might have mentioned before, but the vinyl is coming out of its tuck in the over-dash section. You told me a few months ago '67 dashes could be removed without taking the windscreen out and that you would be doing these videos. Very much appreciated! I think I only need to tuck the vinyl back in but wasn't sure how to do that well. Looking forward to your next installment so I can figure out what is needed on my car.

Hello John Shouldn't be a problem..The second video should open that up better for you.. Just need to remove the steering wheel to get it out and there are only two nuts to access from the truck area under dash to remove Pull low and straight back and she'll pop right out. Also the face has some press in style retainer clips. Ill be sure to include a look at those in part 2 Installing the dash is still few weeks off

Fantastic restoration work Mike! What you are referring to as horse hair is in fact a plant based substitute. Made of fibres from finely shreded and dried palm leaves and mainly used as upholstery in furniture and bed mattresses. If you want to know all I know about the product, I can also inform you that Algeria was a main source for the European market and if a batch was not sufficiently disinfected properly, it would carry a load of chigger (mites?) that spread in homes. And no, I haven't the slightest idea of what the english name of the product is, but if we are lucky someone here could maybe assist us.

Hello Anders You are quite knowledgable on this subject! Thanks for the information... Yes another viewer mentioned it as Coir and has the attributes you are talking about..Ginger or coconut ..I just refer to it as horse hair but its definitely not animal..more of an organic composite of the materials you mention. Hope I don't have any chiggers in there!!=)

Awesome work Mike. I love the fact that your so detailed and the shop is very clean. That's how I like to work as well. Have you thought about using SPI epoxy in place of the Por? It can also be brushed, will fill in any pits and sands very well. I used to use the Por until I found SPI. Great video, looking forward to part 2.

For the POR15, I thought it was best for the surface rust to not be removed. I thought POR15 was formulated to perform best when brushed right onto surface rust?
@MikesRestorations
@MikesRestorations 4 жыл бұрын
Hello fg This is a good point you are bringing up. POR stands for paint over rust..Its an incredible coating and tough as nails. It can be applied over light rust if proper prep work has been done first but it works best as a primer/sealer on fresh clean sandblasted metal for best results. In the real world its not possible to get some rusted areas completely clean without total disassembly and restoration. POR 15 in that case will definably help in slowing down the rusting situation and will stick to rust if surface is prepared properly. In all cases its always best if possible to remove any rust before covering

Mike’s Restorations Hi Mike, That makes total sense. Plus, realistically speaking, I would much rather buy a car with no rust under the POR15, than a car with. Thanks, and keep up the good work. P.S.- I had no idea POR stood for Paint Over Rust. I just learned something new!
