Smoothed out my dash, deleted glove box and a/c vents. This will be wrapped with black micro-suede to match the rest of my interior.
Parts used:
fiberglass mat + resin to delete glove box latch and a/c vents
bondo glass
expanding foam - fill void b/t glove box and dash
bondo light weight body filler

hopefully the sun won't ruin this with it expanding and contracting with temperature change. i'm feeling everything but the mention of "micro suede." it seems like a bad idea for a dash. but i guess we'll see.

I'm just waiting for the suede to come in. I already have my headliner and dash pad wrapped with no problems so far. My seats are corbeau microsuede and my door panels will be microsuede as well.

Any pics of your other stuff?
Id like to see the dash wrapped...
I am thinking about wrapping my interior panels, dash, doors, and seat centers, in alancantra.
But I wasn't sure how it would look.
Leather vs vinyl...

So I took it to my upholstery shop and the guy said it was not smooth enough. I hit it with the DA and the vibrations knocked the glove box loose. I then used a thicker fiberglass mat to reinforce the glove box and it is not moving now! After another coat of bondo and some more sanding I think it is almost ready!
