Tony D Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Make a mold, use the original dash as the plug. Make your dash, install it. Simple! if it's free form, glue blocks of poly foam (or use the spray foam) to rough out the form you want, then lay your laminate over it. Finish as required. Simple! (Lots of details left vague, in the spirit of the original post! LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschiltz Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Here's a thread with good advice: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=116456&highlight=Custom+dash Sorry, I don't know anything about FG. From what I've read though, if you take your time and read up on technique, it doesn't seem too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
