Welp, it's finally time to fix my dash panel. I have a couple of questions though -- can I get some advice? I want to do it right -- BUT I'm also on a budget.
1. It has one small dent in it. What's the easiest way to remove it without having to repaint the entire dash? Rubber mallot and a piece of wood?
2. I'm repairing the radio hole so it can accept a stock radio. Because of the generosity of you guys I have my choice of a couple of filler pieces to do the job. Here's the question. I don't weld. I wish I did. Where should I take the dasy to get the new piece welded? Body shop? OR is there some kind of adhesive (JB weld-ish) I can glue it in with? Nobody will see the repair because it will be covered with a new blastic bezel.
3. The panel has a lot of orange peal. Can you wet sand all types of paint? Any tips. Or, should I just get it repainted?
4. Has anybody mounted a radio in the glovebox? That's what I want to do with my modern radio. Any advice?
Thats it. Thanks in advance.
Matt.
