Re: Help me with a custom dash please!!!
if you want to make a new stock looking one out of fiberglass heres how to do so
take your original dash put vasiline all over the inside then use 2part expanding foam and basicly will make a mold of your original dash then pull the mold off the vasiline used in the begining will make it easy to get the mold off then go and put more vasiline on the mold after its dryed lay your fiber glass matting over the mold and use a paint brush to brush on the fiperglass resin and hardner mix let dry pull off do some sanding and bondo cover in vinel or what ever you wish to use heres a site with some desent prices on fiber glass materials 2 part expanding foam http://www.shopmaninc.com/foam.html fiberglass mat http://www.shopmaninc.com/mat.html fiberglass resin http://www.shopmaninc.com/polyesters.html |
