Re: My 86 build

I had started to work on my dashpad after listening to people whine about it. So I decided to try and fiberglass it, I really had nothing to loose, mine had about 4 or 5 good cracks across it and the speaker grills were all punched out. It looked like wolverine attacked it. So I roughed it up with the d/a sander, covered a few holes, soaked it with resin and covered it with fiberglass weave. I tried using the fiberglass mat that I had lying around and it was no good, kinda like trying to paint a cat. I was surprised it turned out as good as it did and as easy as it was. The first pic is after the resin dried and I painted it black to see what it would look like. I know it looks pretty rough! The others are as it is now, still needs a good sanding and some puty. I want to paint it the body colour so for now its just primer....
