Default pad

That came out real nice. Is that dashpad optional on a 62. Everyone I have except my Dads has the short pad. His is like yours. I always thought it came out of a GP or Bville. Heres how we did ours on a budget. maybe $100. Took all old hard vinyl off and ground out the cracks. Mixed up some fiberglass resin and brushed it on and laid some fiberglass cloth over whole dash. Then we sanded and bodyfilled it until it had the right shape and fit car. Primed then sanded with 320grit. Sprayed on a couple coats of sem heavy chip guard. Let it dry then painted it with sem semi flat spray paint that matched closely to color I wanted. I have to get some close ups but it looks really close to vinyl finish for a fraction. The next one I do im going to try to cover. As I see it the work is in the prep to get the dash back into shape. I had about 4hrs into this not including dry times.
