[DeTomaso] Filling Cracks in Split Dash

[Will Kooiman]

I had someone fill in the radio cutout in my console.  They used
fiberglass resin, and I'm sure there's some fiberglass matting in there
too.  It looks like it was done at the factory.  They did a fantastic job.

But the dash is plastic.  I would fill the cracks with JB Weld.

Yes, I know, JB Weld is the redneck glue of choice, but in this case, it
should work very well.
