I need to find some material to replace the rear dashboard in a '67 porsche. This will be my second attempt.
The first try I used a hard finished pressed wood product I found at home depot. I put black leather on it and it looked pretty good. I didn't cut it large enough and the rest of it curled in the sun.
This time I was thinking about rebuilding the whole piece, but it has about a 75 degree bend in it to meet the top back of the rear seats.
I need to find a product that I can bend to make it fit. I am still planning to cover it with black finished leather to match the seats in the car.
I am not worried about the sun this time, I plan on keeping the car out of it as much as possible. It sat in my mechanic's yard ofr a month last summer trying to find a new intake manifold. We found one and now I am left with the curled rear dash, looks horrible.
Any Ideas wold be awsome, thanks
