Datsun Dreaming
Took all my parts to United Speed World for machining, only to find out the machine shop is closed on Saturday. ARGH!

I fixed my disgusting cracked dash today...
Ingredients: Super glue, Baking soda, Razor blade, 220 grit sand paper, gorilla glue, sem texture coating, sem landau black interior paint. Fill the cracks with super glue and level with razor blade, sprinkle baking soda over glue. When the mixture hardens sand down the dash in the cracked areas until they are smooth. If it still isn't level spread gorilla glue over the cracks and smooth with the razor blade or an old credit card. Wait for gorilla glue to set and harden. It will get foamy when it hardens. Sand again until the surface is smooth, remove all of the grease and sanding dust making sure the area is clean. Coat dash with sem texture spray. (The distance you hold the can away determines the size of the texture.) When dry paint with sem interior paint. The paint and coating are slightly elasticized so it will flex a bit and resist future cracking. You can do spot repair, but I lightly sanded my whole dash and resprayed the whole thing. It took about a day to do and the sanding is the WORST part. Try your best not to over use the filler. (baking soda/gorilla glue) The gorilla glue expands like crazy so only use a little bit and it's a bitch to sand if you have a huge lump of it.
It looks really good, but my shitty ipone camera can't capture the full effect. haha

That is awesome, could be a good idea to go over a non-cracked dash to prevent cracks.. Shit I would do it to my HUD dash if that would work.
