Everyone should get flocked. I know I need to.....

[Craig74tii]

I found a company that'll re-flock our gloveboxes. The cost will be about $50 per box. That price is with a clean box inside. The price might be a bit higher if they have to get the old crusty flocking out. Personally if it cost me an extra $15 to have them clean it for me, it's worth it. I was told they should have the correct color, if not, one that is very close.

I'd like to know if there's any interest. Thx.

Not one person on this board wants to have their glovebox re-flocked? Seems there are very few of us on here doing restorations. I guess I misread this people on the FAQ.

I honestly have no idea what the term 'flocked' means, or why I should do that to my glovebox. ???

i learned my lesson on doing 'no expense spared' restorations 12 years ago. spending $50 to flock a glovebox is probably a good deal, but i'd rather spend that money on something that'll make the car more:

dependable

faster

less prone to rust

weather proof

not necessarily in that order. currently, i think i have decent ones in my stash and if not i'll improvise.

but thanks for sharing. this is good news for those seeking full-up restoration, and there's nothing wrong with that, btw.

besides, i typically keep the glovebox closed 99% of the time.

Racers tend to look quickly, realize that it doesn't make the car go faster then move on...

Daily driver's tend to look much faster than racers because the tow truck's coming and they need the answer to their question before it arrives...

Restoration guys on the other hand, the guys you want, are still back logged in the archives going over recent photos and text with fine toothed combs, pondering the dimple vs. snorkel gospels etc...they'll reach the present day posts eventually...and might embrace flocking.

If I still had a glove box, I'd be first in line to get flocked... hmm, now that I think about it: a flocked roll cage would look f'in'sweeet...

flocking is what was done to criminals in the middleages in a public square for all to see and consider....

[Craig74tii]

on here. I think it's time for a 'Restoration' forum. At least that way I wouldn't have to wade through all the crap that I don't care about.

I'm interested...I've seen flocking kits that cost more...also,I think Blunt was just inquiring about flocking material last week...

I might end up being interested. However, I am nowhere near the point where I need to worry about my glovebox. Maybe 3-4 months from now when I am reassembling everything.

allow a week for total response, alot of us only check in a couple times a week. And you will get hundreds of "views" if the words Carpet War are in the title, ha ha, but kind of sad really.

[BLUNT]

mines so screwed up now i need to start over again. i tried to texture paint it and its horrid. i have a bunch so i might just jump on this

[JohnBarlow]

No need to re-flock!

[H_Krix]

ditto that. I tried something "experimental" and ended up with a glovebox that looks lined in kitty litter...

I'd go for it, but my interior work is at least 3-4 months away. I have to concentrate on budgeting m cash towards the suspesion and brakes (current projects) for the time being.

If it is still available, how much would you like for it?

Thanks,

It came out great. It cost me 10 or 15 bucks in material and I have enough to do a couple more. See my old post last month for website.

old post

Subject: It can be done- found it

I bought some stuff on the interent and it looks great. It was a spray glue- might have been brush on , it has been awhile. You got a bag of fuzz. An applicator was about$1. you blew the stuff on and let it dry overnight. Mine can out great. It was not cheap but was not unreasonable. I haven't found the name of it. I will repost if I find it.
