Nice job on the dash. Hope you didn't make it too glossy, seems like the glare off of it could be a little too much

So, how well is the fiberglas/bondo/whatever going to stick to the vinyl?
Think you'll have any problems with it lifting later? I've got some pretty seious chasms inmy '79s dash, and I could care less if it was soft and squishy... If what you did'll work, I might tackle it. Hell there's plenty of fiberglas and bondo on the outside, might as well be some on the inside, too!
