Cracked/Cracking Dash

What is the best alternative than buying a new one?

I was thinking some kind of adhesive putty, put it in the cracks, level it out, repaint the entire dash, then put a dash cap over it...

Anyone have any ideas?

i used epoxy putty in the cracks to seal it up then putty glazed it. after all i smoothed it i glassed it all.







ill soon be taking it back out to wet sand it and repaint her after i install new speedhut gauges.

i was about to ask what you did as for your speaker holes, but you don't have any xD

I'll prolly fab something up, unless i can get some Honeycomb cereal big enough to substitute for it

This is what I need to do to my dash and center console. 260Z was your center console cracked on the passenger side around the ash tray?

yea, that was an easy fix because you can plastic weld on the center console
