I’m not building a show car. This build is really more of a street/strip car that leans more towards minimalistic aesthetically and higher on the performance spectrum.
I recently had to do some pretty intensive work on my dash/cowl area to fix rot. I removed the dash pad to do the work. The pad was covered with a piece of vinyl and looked decent and maybe I should have just left it alone but I didn’t.
I took the cover off to expose the 50 year old cracked OEM deal and rather than stop there and do some research, I pulled all of it off.
Now i’ve got a bare metal frame. I don’t really need a pad, I don’t think it does a whole lot to protect anyone but it does cover a rather unsightly metal dash.
Seeking ideas on what I can do from here. I was thinking of covering it with fiberglass cloth and then maybe some CF or something. I’m just checking in here for experiences and ideas from people who deal with this sort of stuff regularly.
thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge with me
