cockerstar Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This kit is a little more advanced than the one I tried on my dash. I had a single hairline crack about a half inch long in the top of the dash in my '71 that I wanted to prevent from growing. The heat from the iron caused several more of the small cracks to appear around the repaired area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NgoZ Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Seems really decent. Curious how it would work on the huge crevices and valleys that the cracked Z dashes could get. Funny how I just started working on my dash this week and you post this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'm thinking about starting this soon. I poked around on the net and found a few people on other forums who have used this with good results. I may give them a call today to ask them a few questions about it. I may have to go with a stupid dash cover anyway because the PO filled all the cracks in mine with liquid nails and use the cover on with it and its tearing everything up trying to get it off.

cbrit Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I had the typical cracks and all I did was V grove them out, fill most of the hole with epoxy then fished with body filler. A small fuzzy roller with black paint for the textured look and done. Lots of sanding. If you scroll down through the pics, you'll see the dash https://www.flickr.com/photos/106921229@N08/ Can't wait to get this baby back.

socorob Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I ordered the urethane supply stuff and it came in yesterday. Maybe next weekend I will have time to get started to see how it works out. I'm going to use great stuff foam instead of melting the rod because the tool was almost $300.

David Morgan Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 i am thinking of trying truck bed liner on one of my extra dashes. Has anyone tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtbiker194 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 lots of interesting dash repair ideas. I'll have to give this a try one day. My current project car has a good dash, but I know my dad has a few dashes that are no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really flexible. I have some pics starting on post 110. I will try to take more today. Edited June 8, 2014 by socorob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 You guys have seen this already, right? http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/interior-s30/23919-dash-repair-process-pictures.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've seen that. I've also seen people using truck bed stuff to fix a dashboard, bumper repair stuff to fix a dasbboard, body filler to fix a dashboard, etc. In the work I do it's imperative to use the right thing for the right job, that's why I decided to use dash repair stuff to fix a dash. I know it sounds crazy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
