No link. I simply scuffed and cleaned it real good, put on about 6 coats of fiberglass resin, sanded, some bondo, bodywork and paint. So far it is holding up well, only time will tell.

Man it's looking good! Showedsome pics to my g/f and she WANTS a yellow roundeye now!! On the dash did you simply put it over the vinyl? And if so what did you scuff it with and how long between coats did you wait? Sounds alot easier then taking the foam and all of and starting with metal and building up...

That is looking nice Jeff. Now post some more pics of the dash and the rest of the truck while you are at it . I will say that you are the first person I have ever seen that installed an Autometer clock .
