DASHBOARD DISASTER!!!WHY DID I EVEN TRY THIS? 

I had a 95 BMW M3 that had the headliner start drooping....took it to a guy in downtown Orlando, FL who worked on nothing but European cars. We talked about his methods and he showed me the 3M adhesive he used, which came in 5-gallon buckets which he described as "extremely expensive." Which explains why the average Joe doesn't use it. Also explains why he charged $500 to restore that headliner. Thanks for this....your patience and craftsmanship is truly impressive.

Not going to lie, I was super sketch about how this dash would turn out but wow, I'm really impressed. It looks really, really nice!

I wish I had your patience, that whole thing would have been on the burn pile by now. Yet another excellent video Mike, thanks and take care buddy 👍

What I enjoy so much Mike is that you are not Afraid to Venture into New territory you Head straight forward and you take us with you for the adventure and if anything happens we experience it with you Nothing Fake about you and Thank you for being the Real Deal, it keeps everything Fresh and interesting, unlike another channel I won't mention their name that record's and repeats the same boring Bullshit Can I get All my Chins and Fat Ass in this Copart Tesla 🤣 or and thinks because of the friend's he's purchased Who praise him, he thinks he's got it all together. He's such a Sandy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You had an idea and you tried it out 💡this is how innovation happens: there are a lot of misfires before you achieve your goal 👍 much respect ✊

I would have just sanded it and painted it satin black....lol. You did a great job 👏🏼 👍🏼

you put a lot of effort into that and credit to you for showing that it went wrong.I think it's an excellent result and you should be rightly pleased with the outcome.

Hey man don’t let that mishap get you down keep on keeping on

The dash looks great, I would be happy to have that in my car. Great job!!!!

Wow! I wish I had your patience Mike. I like that you show us all the issues and don’t edit them out. ✊👍💯

Dashboard came out SWEET! Lot of work & it paid off BIG time at the end!

one can tell that you are not from the new throw away generation. Love your attitude to the trials and tribulations and of course the end results. A lot of us fail because we do not have or know what products are out there or how to use. You are a great teacher and inspiration to us your followers. Thanks again for teaching us patience along with great craftsmanship

I read the header for the vid and thought..oh no the dash is damaged beyond repair. Your perseverance is on a legendary level my friend. Glad it all worked out in the end, you also gained experience in the process. 👍

Well done Mike, it looks great. I was stressed just watching you do this, thanks for the video Regards Mike UK

That’s the difference between you and other channels… you are willing to try things and excel at it… no matter how many times you have to do it!! Great job!!!

What I appreciate WB is how you just own up when something goes wrong and then show us how you get it right. Too many YT channels just show perfect results every time and we all know that just doesn't happen. That Sir was a mighty fine job and it looks factory. An unbelievable restoration from something that was really scrap. And yes black headliner ....

After I saw you fix up that roof, I had no doubt you'd figure it out and complete this dash. You even got the contours on the raised up part. Great video, your patience problem solving and skills are impressive.

Mike, that dashboard is MINT! really impressed with how it turned out. I never imagined someone wrapping a dash like that and it turned out great.

An "A+" for effort WB. A lot of work but it looks good. As always, a good job, especially dealing with something you've never done before. Fearless!

That's what you call shrinkflation regarding the cans of glue! Awesome job..I admire your patience!

when you started this project with the dash i went and watched a few others rework dash boards in similar condition all of them came out looking decent i just want to say i like your method best with the rubbery coating

You are very determined Mike, and sometimes that is what it takes. It looks Good, so you did a Good Job! Satin Black on the roof would be fine.

That looks like a brand new factory piece. Looks like it tested the patience alottt. I would've ended up tossing the thing against the wall and searching the junkyards for a different one. Love the progress on the old girl and I'd say yes to painting the headliner black.

You really showed how to be patient and think everything through before the 2nd try. I know people who would have started throwing tools around because things weren't going the way they expected.... Great job Bro!

Came out nice. I would have gotten pissed off and sprayed it with bedliner! Black headliner will be cool. Spray A-pillar trim satin as well.

I see you got about a 1000 new subs man! Good stuff. As always, I love how you show the real side of refurbishing. It’s not always perfect or easy, which is why it’s a skill. Your end result justifies the effort Mike. Mad respect for your talent friend. I work with 4 way vinyl on my projects and it’s forgiving but not easy. Way to go.

You have to fail first to achieve greatness Mike.... Looks great!!

What a transformation from what you started with though. That’s really magic when you put a comparison pic side-by-side. Great job! The only way to really learn a craft like that is hands on and by making mistakes. Brave to even try!

You are the man!!! This car is gonna rock when you're done!!!

Great job!! I would of given up and painted it. lol I wish I still had my 1971 Fury 3

Maybe it’s time for a trip to the scrap yard to find a replacement dash.

That came out great! It was a process but as you said, everyone learned from it. I admire your patience and perseverance…this is a fun project to watch 😀. Stay well and take care of the wife.

You have a ridiculous amount of patience.... Great result in the end!!

Great job Mike, not sure I would have the patience to do that. Really like your program, keep up the excellent work. Take care. 👍

Fantastic job Mike. If I hadn't watched you do all this, I would have just took it that you bought a new dash for the car. A you said, we learn from our mistakes and practice make it perfect and you had a lot of practice with this one. Really, really well done Mike. 👍

I am so glad I or other convinced me I couldn't do what I thought I could so here I sit holding an ginormous "L" TK garage special meanwhile you learned and achieved a lot.

Wow, that dash looks awesome, trial and error for sure but with patience you did a fine job and showed how to do it right and slow. Going to look good when it's in the car and all the badges and instruments cluster is on it. Congrats

Dude you got skills and patience don't ever let anyone tell you don't I've worked on Cars 4 years I'm follow you for a couple years now I'm totally impressed doing that dance like that I never thought it would work but you proved me wrong hats off to you

Great job and well done! I admire your willingness to tackle tough jobs and start over when necessary. Press on regardless

Dude that is cool as shit. I've never seen that done before.

Weird Beard, you're a good guy. Thanks for being real just like 99% of us watching and for showing how learning a new skill by trying new things pays off in the end. Great job on this project and I'll be looking forward to watching your future videos.

That looks like a brand new dashboard. Great work

Mike you are one hell of a craftsman that dash turned out beautiful. Great job brother.

Amazing work, it’s better than factory! I don’t know what was more impressive , fixing the roof or this hot mess of a dash that now looks better than new. Thanks for the great content.

WB you went outside your comfort zone and look at what you did : ) Great job that's how we learn new trades and ways to get er done ourselves . JOB WELL DONE.. looks great to me..

Your patience and explaining the process is great. Thank you ✨🎆

Mike worked a miracle with that old cracked out Dash 💪💯 . I'm searching for parts for my build & keeping an eye out for something you can use . I'm in the rust belt & them cars are rusted to the ground unfortunately. I will continue to look around as I'm walking threw them old junkyards in search for parts. Paul Walker was driving a Newport in joy ride lol . Salute 👍😎

Man you've taken on a challenge. But you'll do I have faith in you . I'm glad it's you and not me . If it was me it'd be in the junk pile for sure .

Nice job that was a lot of work but. You did one hell of a job. Love your work keep it up look forward to the end result. Yes paint the headliner black

Beautiful work Mike that's sweet!

Damn Mike...you have more patience than I do. I truly enjoy your channel brother! The content is always awesome! Keep up the great work. Keep on Motoring brother!!! 👍👍👍

Great job mike. The pressure of doing it on camera can't be easy. Love this content . Happy Easter from Dublin Ireland 👍

Definitely looks like one of those experience where you just can't do anything else but try learn from what happens, adapt and just continue from there. Always as impressed with your patience, you did some great work on that dashboard and ended up with a good video for others to learn from. :) Stay awesome, much love to yall!

Awesome job that looks fantastic really pleased how it came out would have been good to have seen a side by side before and after that dash was trash but you brought it back from the dead

It’s going to look really good installed. With the cluster and trim on it.

My dad was an upholster for years, ran his own shop and did alot of restoration work like you have done on this dash. I think he would have been proud of the way you worked through this process. The white pad you had you could have glued it to your vinyl first and it would have been easier to work with, but I think the dash turned out great without the padding.

Probably be an impossible job with airbags! That took a lot of patience!

I think you did a great job and I am in awe of your patience. Your calm approach makes you a good teacher.

Great perseverance, Mike, and the finished result makes it really worthwhile! Anything with 3M on the label is a good choice, and the 3M90 was perfect for that job. If you ever need something with even more "grip", try the 3M Panelbond, which is a fully certified 'structural adhesive' and is even used to stick bridges together (only Interstate bridges though, not railroad ones, apparently...)

WB, you did a super job on that dash a lot of work but it looks the closest to a factory job 5 stars

If it stays "put" I think we call that a SUCESS. Going to look very cool 😎 and is a perfect addition to the budget restore of this sweet ole ride. Headliner should for sure match the dash that would make it even more of a "Weird Beard Custom".

Literally nowhere else on RU-vid. I think it turned out amazing.

When I watched your last video on the dash I commented that I was interested in seeing how you overcame the big curves. It was difficult but you pulled it off. Very well done Mike. It looks a million dollars and you've not only saved some money but have chalked up another skill that you can turn to your advantage.👍🏼

I am impressed. You will forever be a You Tube dashboard repair idea that had success.

Looks much better the second time! That vinyl must be tricky to work with. I probably would have tried that textured paint, but your hard work paid off! A black headliner would be nice.

Craftsmanship! That’s what this is all about. Never say die. Good job once again, Mr WeirdBeard!

Outstanding, Mike. I'm looking forward to seeing videos of you cruising around in this baby.

from what I learnt in this since I will need to do a cracked dash as well soon...take it little by little. Dont spray too much glue trying to work on a big area. Have clean hands and pray to god you dont have overspray from the glue on the vinyl. So far I'm thinking of going to the painting route, but we'll see. Just gotta figure out if the paint that I'll be using can be polished or treated the same way as leather/vinyl does when it comes to keeping it like new.

Looks fantastic!

Outstanding work. This channel is the real deal. Trial and error from a great craftsman. Impressive..

Mike, I am looking forward to the finished project that custom coupe Chrysler product is going look great. Keep up the great videos cannot get enough of them.

I didn’t at the beginning think it would be like that at all, so just goes to show just some imagination and creativity and there is nothing that cannot be done. Well done you did a great job on it 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Looks great! Can't wait to see it installed.

Absolutely love this video series. Keep them coming.

It's more than ok, looks brand new. Great work Mike.

AWESOME job, Mike!! As always, your patience amazes me!! Too cool for words!

Man ! You are very skilled and patient as a saint! Great work! Keep those vids comin at us ! THANKS JW

Good to see u back at it! I was wondering last week where the next video was. The amount of patience u have is amazing. Id have tore the whole shop down with that dash after round 1😂

What a transformation! Looks great!

Just an awesome job Mike! It looks amazing and I admire your willingness to not give up no matter how tough it gets. I know some youtubers that the least little thing they give up and sell the car as soon as possible.

Looks great! Great content also always looking forward to your next video

Sweet work and thanks for going thru the learning curve for us. Now I know

WELL DONE! The dash looks excellent!

Weird Beard ???? Genius Beard !!!! This dashboard looks better than any factory original. Thank you Mike for showing this video, much appreciated, again!

looks great! think i wouldve bedlined it, then sprayed a flat dark green and called it good enough, but your results are way nicer!. wonder how itll react to the hot sun

Amazing work as always! Enjoy your channel so much

That dash looks way better than I thought it would turn out. Way to go,keep up the good work.

Top notch content Mike, as always. Excited for the carpet and headliner to go in some bad

Gotta say man I had my doubts but what a awesome job and beautiful turn out love it!!! Cannot wait to see it back in the beast !!

Dear Mr. Beard, You are a patient, goodhearted man. Congratulations on using the 3M glue. Seems like that made almost as much. of a difference as starting in the middle. Wow. Great work. Thank you for having the courage to share both your failures and success.

Lots of work and definitely a learning experience but it turned out pretty nice man… the fact that you take us through the whole journey very slowly is really a benefit,other videos just go a million miles an hour and it’s hard to really learn anything…thanks,this is my first time on your channel and I’ll continue to check you out… thanks brother

It looks fantastic Mike! Great job.

Good job Mike. You are a good teacher.

Never figured it would turn out that good. Mike your the man!

Wow! What a transformation! The results are amazing and much better than other videos I have watched where flocking was the final step. And, thanks for not being afraid to show us your mistakes. We learn from those as well.

Excellent job Mike looks awesome as usual keep up the good work man 👍

Yes!! Dude you got God given talent.

Amazing job man, I don't where you find the patience... love your videos!

Mike - great job! Admire your persistence and patience.

turned ou killer !!!!! nice work Man !!!!!!! thank you for taking the time to share !!!!!!
