renew old Dash

So I have been thinking about this for a while now, I had a friend do it. Looks great, now I want to hear what you guys think, Instead of buying a new $$$ dash from LMC.. fill in the blank, what if I just took my old cracked up dash, took it out of my truck, sanded down the cracks too make it more smooth, filled it in with great stuff (in can Foam insulation) https://www.chooserenewables.com/xca...-Stuff-500.jpg

sanded that down too make it pretty flat like. Took bondo, put a nice coat on where the great stuff could not do. Then took a type of mateirel <--- dunno how to spell. in my case pleather. Then wrapped the dash in black pleather...


Sounds pretty good rite? Before I spend the money on this I calculated about $6 for the great stuff, bondo I got layin around, pleather will cost about $18.. So for about a day or too worth of time, and under $30 I would have a like new dash.... Thoughts??
