started the process of fixing the dash cracks. Using bondo with fiberglass, then skim coat of regular bondo. will be flocking this weekend. There is a corresponding portion of the metal dash component that will be flockled as well.

Looks "hi-end" custom for chump change! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Allow re-use of a horrible dash. Only question I have is how well will it wear? Will it change rapidly getting fried by the Texas sun? Wouldn't matter much for an enthusiast car that was garaged! If it holds up to the death rays down here, I'll use that process in multiple builds. Think a 914 dash is expensive? Try an early Z dash... I'd KILL to be able to buy a repo 240Z dash for 650. So expensive that there are multiple sources for fiberglass reproductions that would look SO MUCH better flocked! I do see a possible problem that has nothing to do with the flocking... I expect the bondo and the remaining dash material to expand/contract at different rates and the cracks may "print through" with age. Time will tell. Maybe a "more similar" material to repair the cracks could be found? Anyone know the chemical composition of the original dash? I'm interested in the kit you used as well. Actually, looks better IMO than a new repo dash...
