[QUOTE="evan, post: 1513970, member: 562202"] I was thinking it would be cool to replace the stock dash pad in my truck with a smooth fiberglass one painted to match the truck. I want to make one to replace the stock pad, not just fit overtop of it. With the little fiberglass experience I have (from reading threads on this board) I was thinking it could be done by first coating the stock dash to make a mold, then taping the inside of the mold, then filling that with fiberglass to make the new dash. It could then be sanded and bondo'd until smooth. Does that sound reasonable to you? Would I need to make the mold in two pieces, or will it flex enough to be able to pull it off the stock dash in one piece? Here is a picture of my dash [IMG]http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2985/dashpaint1ql.jpg[/IMG] and in case you aren't familiar with this style of truck, this is what the dash pad looks like [IMG]http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/6571/dash9et.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
