Dash Repair   Restoration Techniques by Daron Walker
The first two are a beat up 74 dash I redid. (Sorry, no before shots. At the time I didn't know it would work.)
This is the 69 gtv dash fresh out of the car......MEGA CRACKS
I took this shot just to show the depth of the cracks
This shot shows the after effect of leveling the cracks 20 minutes work
Because the cracks were so deep I used spray form to fill in the gaps.

Why not, it's basically the same stuff the dash was made from. this took 10 minutes and a $5.00 can of foam stuff.
Once the foam was sanded level with the dash, I applied body filler. Maybe 1/4 cup worth.
Once the filler is sanded It's hard to tell how good it is, so I put two coats of bed liner on to see the imperfections. Then fill those.
End result is this. Cost $15.00 and two days... So pull that dash pad off!
