Well I'm taking my time, my car doesn't leave till Saturday to the paint booth. I have a week to get this done. I'm off from college for a week so I'm going to do as much work as I can with out putting much stress on the dash as you stated about heating it up to make it warp.

I've prepped these dashes two months ago, they've been cleaned & sanded from 320 grit all the way up to 600 grit.

I'm using 80 grit to shape it up quickly as soon as the high spots aren't so high I work with 120, 150 grit. I do it all by hand with different shape sanding blocks. It takes more time but in the end the effort is well worth the finished product.

My only questions / concerns fall back onto where should focus on slimming the fiberglass down on, I want to make sure the dash fits into the car. What should I watch out for.
