Default Fiberglassing Dash

Has anyone ever attempted to do this? I have already taken the dash out of my TA, and right now I am in the middle of glassing. I just wanted to see if anyone might have any pointers for the LARGE amount of work it is looking to be. Or am I alone on this one?
Thanks

hope the sun doesnt shine in your neck of the woods... cool concept for a show car, but JEEEZUS.. if you accidentally armorall the dash you already get a vision blocking glare on the glass from the dash....

I haven't fiberglassed mine but i did mold it and make a complete carbon fiber dash. Thats wayyyy to much work though. Post up some pics when you guys get done with your dash. Id like to see them.

would look cool but i would never ride with you if it were done. C/f shatters and becomes jagged and sharp when it bends... if you were in an accident hard enough to warp the dash, watch out. You might lose a limb, or your life b/c the way c/f doesnt bend.. it breaks..

Dash will never wrap in the car with the cage it has.Plus it has 5 point harnesses and all tha tgood stuff. Pics will be seen once the car is finished and photographed for the mag. There are alot of little trick things with the car that i have been advised to keep to myslelf untill it is photographed.
