I 'glassed a gauge and my power window switches into the area where my cigar ligher and power mirror controls used to be. I can probably find pics if you want to see how it looks.

vinny, what you do is remove the panel
then glass from behind like use the stock as a mold then pull it apart glass on the outside of the 1st glassing you did and you make a new panel |

This is the head liner i am in process of doing. When i finish practicing on this, i will begin the rest of the interior, starting with the center console. |

Would fiberglass bond to plastic as well? I want to make a holder to go under the radio to hold 3 gauges and was wondering what would be the best material to try to make it out of.

when you get it all installed.. tell us if it affects the road noise and if the interior get more hot.

Fate, the foam didnt melt? usually the foam disengrates because of the heat generated by the fiberglass.
