    Jay Leno Garage had an episode where he went to a father & son business called "JustDashes" and like you, they cut out old bad stuff, filled it. But now covered it with a foam, heated a sheet of plastic and vacuum formed it over the entire dash one piece.
    They trimmed the extra, painted some color, UV protection and finish it looking new. They are in CA, but shipping and their services would be $$$$. I don't have Jay Leno money laying around but they did darn fine work since the 80's. There father needed something fixed and could find anyone. Bought some equipment and went from their. I worked at a boat dealership and yes, fiberglass sucks! DK, Omaha.

      I’ll have to see if I can find that episode. Sounds interesting. TMI makes a nice dash for C10’s but I think you need Leno’s money to get one.

    I just redone the dash in my 87 but I repaded and revinyled mine. It was a whole lot easier than it seems, I used the faux aligator vinyl. Turned out alot better than I thought it would honestly.

    Off subject: Is all square bodies single stage paint? I have a 87 that needs a lil box repair and I’m not sure. Paint looks very good. If it’s single stage can I still prep box and shoot base clear or single or do I take all of paint to metal and epoxy and work up for base clear?

    • @StoutCustom
      @StoutCustom  Рік тому +1

      Most likely the paint on the truck is lacquer. I would go with a single stage paint if you do not strip it to metal. If you want base/clear best bet is to go to bare metal and epoxy first. Reason is that basecoat is mainly solvent and may attack the lacquer underneath it. Single stage is much less likely to create a problem. Thanks for the question and good luck with your truck!
