I just finished my dash, didn't come out as good as I had hoped but hey what can u do. The bondo in the cracks didnt really work, the dash raised up around the cracks forming peaks even though the cracks are filled, u can see them. I sprayed the whole thing with bedliner. The Ac vents I covered with fiberglass, and then made a gauge pod for the center vent. The pod is also angled toward the driver for easier view. Here it is with the gauges installed, my new blitz I color boost controller, turbo timer and stereo. I am pretty happy with it, let the bashing commence...LOL

Maybe this thread would have helped.

lol yeah i started mine before that write up. ended up peeling off most of the bed liner and redoing it once. but I was more concerned with fiber glassing the ac vents and the ac pod, not the cracks. Now it looks unique, no vents. I spent the least amount of time on the cracks. I have a few other projects going at the same time as this and need to have the car finished by Jan 17th. It is a track car only so the cracks don't bother me, they are much less visible now.
