[Tigers] Resto question

[James Lindner]

Tim

I also have a very early car (0033). The PO did the restoration about 10 
years ago and I have all the receipts for all the parts and work done. From 
what I can tell they kept the original vinyl dash. It cleaned up very nicely 
and had no significant shortcomings. Once a new dash pad and roll were added 
plus the restored gauges it really looks great.

IMHO the vinyl dash, although certainly not as elegant as the wood dash, is 
one of the features that sets these early cars apart...not necessarily 
better just different...and somewhat unique.

Since we can not post photos I'll send a photo of my interior to your email 
address.

Question about restoration….I have an early Tiger with the Vinyl 
dash,
this past weekend I was taking the gauges and other things off the dash as 
my
disassemble continuers, the vinyl dash cleaned up well and looks nice 
however
the question is     “ do I replace the vinyl, it still is 40 plus 
years
old, or do I replace it with new". If I don’t replace it I will have 
to
be very careful during the restoration not to disturb it, or do I just 
replace
it and move on. Being one of the early cars with this dash I was thinking on
trying to save as much as possible, however does it really matter in the 
long
run. As always thanks for all your input TimB9470149
