  1. When I did mine, cracks would show up in a few days. Redid it about a half dozen times. What I found out that worked for me is to take out all but 4 of the screws that hold the dash to the frame. Once the dash is installed, it isn't going anywhere. Hasn't cracked in 2 years now.

  2. Redid my remote starter solonoid and switch panel attached to the rear strut tower.

    Panel has the starter solonoid, master power switch, and posts for charging the battery.

    Had to add the charging posts because it was too hard to get at the battery once the rear speaker box was in.

    Built the rear speaker box to hold my speakers.

  3. Finished my exhaust. Had a problem because I put the fuelcell and battery in the back I didn't have any room for a muffler in the stock location.

    Originally bought 2 Flowmasters and couldn't put them anywhere under the car. Ended up going 2-1/2" pipes to a Dynomax Ultra Flo X-Muffler which has the cross over tubes inside the muffler. Dual 2-1/2" in and Dual 2-1/2" out. Just hope I have enough ground clearance. Approx 3".

  4. Mine wasn't cracking where the screws were. I figured it was just the general stress of it being bolted to the frame was causing the cracks. Once the dash is in the car it won't go anywhere as it is held in place by the gauges and the other pieces bolted to it, and the A pillars.

  5. No adhesive on frame.

    Don't remember how many screws but there was a lot. When I reinstalled it on the frame I only used about 3 or 4 screws because I found using all the screws cracked the foam. Just used enough to hold it to the frame as once it is installed it isn't going anywhere.

  6. When I was redoing my dash I removed the metal frame from the foam dash to work on it. Just be careful not to bend the foam as it is brittle. Be sure to remove all the screws holding the foam to the frame and it should pop out. Proceed at your own risk. lol
