Dan ,
You can add a 90* aluminum 3/4" or 1" strip or pieces to the fiberglass blank with mounting holes pre drilled for the underside of the dash after the blank is released from the buck . Just glass them in . Probably wouldn't hurt to add larger holes to the side that bonds to the blank so the fiberglass has a stronger grip on the blank .

The fiberglass will give you general shape and structure , then "Bondo" will give you close to final shape , then lots of sanding to refine the finished shape . Now your ready for paint .

You've got this , have fun with it .
