Dash was in sad shape with well worn gauges. |

We took it apart and stripped all the old paint, as seen it was made in aluminum. We marked all the dents that needed taken out. Makes me wonder how a gauge panel got whacked in so many places to get all those dents in it? Shows just how fragile aluminum is especially being that this cover is backed up by a plastic housing. See next photo. |

Here is the plastic backup housing. The factory had it glued together so it was a lot of fun to get it apart with out doing more damage. |

The dents were removed and a skim coat of glaze was applied to remove imperfections which we then sanded with 180-320 grit and then primed. |

We then fitted it to the dash to be sure all was well. We sanded the hi-build primer with 400 grit to get it ready to paint. |
