making a 962 dashboard

Here is the plug, the original dashboard,
which Kevin glued down to this plywood to keep it flat.


Now, he is making the mold (from the plug).

The mold has now been pulled from the plug.

Kevin is getting the mold ready to make the new dash.

He sprays the mold with gray duratec,
which will add color to the new part he is making.

Spreading the mold with cabosil to fill up all the imperfections.

Now applying two layers of 3/4 oz mat.

One layer of cloth has now been applied.

The new part has now been pulled from the mold.

The part must now be trimmed.


Here's a youtube video of part of this process:
