fiberglass dash ? strong enough

goto any place that makes boats or somethin they will hook you up with mat. Thats where I get all mine from for projects. i havent found a good place for resin thats cheap. soooo that might hurt ya cause resin isnt cheap.

the larger amount that you buy the cheaper it is. Its like this because when they make resin they do it in barrels and they charge each time they have to break it down. The smaller containers are usually the bottom of the barrel resin thats all thick and shitty. So your best bet is to buy it buy 5 gallon buckets

whuts the best way to mount a custom fiberglass dash to the actual truk

i want to do one in my 93 silverado, can yall tell me how i would mount it back on

i would use the stock bolt locations and try to re use any clips that you can. If you have any other questions just message me on aol because i only have one post left for the month. my screen name is onebulletverdict or i can email you and try to help out

you can buy single sheets of glass mats at napa, and 1 gal drums of resin there too. but yes im like bigjay43 i get all my stuff from a boat company given thats where i work i get all my stuff for free.

^^^^ ummm Im tellin!!!

If you want to produce a quaility product that wont break when it gets slammed going around a corner or whatever use mat. For your own stuff its ok to just use fleece and bondo because you know you have to be careful with it. But if you build something for someone and it breaks in a week... its not good for you especially a dash. One more thing, the strength is the combination of mat and resin. Thats why its called a composite. DO NOT use a ton of resin and expect it to make it stronger... the strength is in the matrix's of the fiberglass hardened by the resin.

Onebullet knows what he is talking about so take his advice... more resin = more cracks and a weaker product! Work composites on helicopters for the Navy for the last few years and have been to a few schools and thats the first thing that they teach you.
