For both the dynatron and the 3m glaze if I remember right I had about $45 between the 2 . I'll see if I still have the reciepts at home when I get there this weekend . As far as where to buy , I google them and whoever is the cheapest is where I buy it . Check your local automotive paint supply shops locally to, no of local shops had this stuff in stock . Yea you can use it to repair urethane bumpers , thats what both these products are originally intented for .
Sean , I think I would stick to fiberglassing on larger scale projects or clay molds and heat forming ABS or polypropylene on a vacum table . Both the dynatron and the 3m arent available in larger mediums than the tubes in the pictures I showed and would be HELLA expensive to buy enough to larger projects . Both are more suited for smaller projects like bezels and such .
Thanks for the compliments . Hopefully I get more done soon .

Sean- The heatforming is definately a cleaner process , theres just alot less room for error . Just got to be careful using the correct epoxy to bond the plastics . Most epoxies will permently bond ABS together . Polyprolylene , you can only use an epoxy designed for it ( to my knowledge there is only 1 from 3m ) . All other epoxies or adhesive will not permenantly bond low energy plastics like Polypro . I threw polypro in there because most of the interior panels in these cars are made out of polypro . For the vacum table , you can use an old electric range converted or just make a box , and use a shop vac . Search vacum table or vacum forming on youtube and it will give you a better idea .

I would like to see somebody tackle covering the ash tray and cup holder over. the ashtray (if you have a short throw shifter, and are wearing a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt, the cuff pulls open the ashtray flip cover.) I'd also like to see someone address the cup holder in the upper console - totally useless, and ugly. I'd like to see someone be able to fill these in - keeping the same shape of the OE console, then cover it in leather. I think that would change the whole appearance of the console.
