supreme_style21 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Any way to fix this? It's so brittle as it is now, if I touch it with any amount of pressure, it cracks. I think I originally cracked it when I put the HUD in.. it's all been downhill since then. Quote
WhiteOut Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Yeah, most good automotive retailers will carry a dash repair kit. Its generally a liquid vinyl stuff that you spread on wait for it to dry a few minutes and then press a patch of vinyl over it to give it the correct texture. The stuff is a major PIA to work with and it tends to get everywhere except where you want it to, kinda like working with super glue. If you can't find it at any parts stores ask a local body shop, they'd be happy to point you in the right direction. Quote
phantomshado Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 I'd just take the dash out, and whip up a soupy batch of fibreglass resin. patch everything over, and repaint it. Quote
supreme_style21 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Posted June 30, 2004 That piece is part of the ENTIRE dash assembly.. I don't have the patience to pull that whole unit out. Quote
Baddflash Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 You should be able to take it in to a shop to be repaired, it's not to expensive and they do an awesome job. My uncle had the original dash of his '70 Le mans convertible fixed and you can't tell it was cracked and he didn't have it painted. I'd have to ask him who did it but I don't that'd matter for you anyway. A restoration or hot rod shop might be a good place to start looking. Quote

I basically live out of it. Yeah I used to as well, that is until my car got stolen and the little bastards took almost everything I don't keep anything in my car now!! Quote
supreme_style21 Posted July 2, 2004 Author Report Posted July 2, 2004 I almost WISH someone would steal it.. just so I don't have to clean it out. Quote
Baddflash Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Careful what you wish for.....You just might get it. Not a week before someone stole my car I said just that. So atleast take anything out you wanna keep. Quote
