Default Fiberglassed Dash is complete!!! Pics....
Hey guys,
Finally I can say the dash is complete, here are some pics. After just under 60 hours of work into it!! When I get back home @ Thanksgiving from school, I will wet sand it, and polish it, I've knocked the highbuild down to 320 before I layed color down, and you can definately tell from the depth!!! Still no word on the Carbon Fiber for the Targa Top, Hurricane Wilma still has my supplier without power. Hopefull it'll be there waiting on me for Thanksgiving weekend, so I can get that done, and the dash installed, as well as guages,a nd everything in, and get you some more pics!! For now...enjoy....

Wow, that looks really nice! Did you form it over the factory dash? If so, do you foresee any fitment issues with it now being slightly larger?

That looks awesome. What did you do to get it to look like that? Just used fiberglass over the original dash? Lets just hope nothing scratches/cracks that paint.

Definitely interested in hearing your method for fiberglassing it. Did you use a mold, or overlay? Looks outstanding, none the less. Awesome work, you definitely know what you're doing!

Aren't you going to get some ridiculous glare with that glossy paint? It looks great but I don't know how you'll be able to drive on a sunny day
