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

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.
