[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 13725, member: 222"] Maybe you can collaborate with a 'glas shop and get yours for the price of making the buck. You can laminate 1" styrofoam insulation with Super 77 and carve it into what your new dash wants to look like. An old carving knife, a hot wire, and a 'mud hog' or a DA with 24 grit will work for shaping it. Paint it with latex paint (keeps the polyester resin in bondo from eating the foam) and then apply bondo. From there it's basic body work to get a smooth surface. Then either you or a 'glas shop can paint it, PVA it, and pull a mold off of it. BTW, you want the 2nd or 3rd part out of the mold, the 1st is nearly always junk & only serves to help cure the mold. Get some pre-preg, accelerator, and a vacuum pump and you couold have a disc Carbon Fibre Dash..............
