Today i mad a bracket for the top of the dash piece so it sits back even with the dash, and also primered it just so i could see and fix any imperfections.

I have now masked off the dash and am applying more filler to this piece to even up the edges and fix any edges etc more pics should be up tomorrow.

This is after i installed the bracket and the dash piece. It was slightly lower than the rest of the dash at the top and some of the edges were not even all the way around.

To fix this, i masked off the dash and applied filler to basically the whole top half so as to fill the edges and make the dash piece slightly higher and hence even with the rest of the dash.

Today, i sanded back the dash piece, and it is looking a lot better and more flush with the rest of the dash, i will just do 1 more lot of modifications to the edges and then ill finish of the sides of it, and hopefully should be ready for a screen and other additions.

With the console, i am just building up the layers of milkshake and sanding between coats in order to get a smooth finish - same process as the dash facia piece.

Lately ive just been building up layers of milkshake and sanding back, im now at a stage where i am quite happy with the finish of the console and all i need to do now is to make a few milkshake touchups to some small holes, and sand back in fine grade sandpaper. (i also have to finish the front piece once the dash piece is finished).

i will soon complete the front piece by sanding it back to sit exactly flush with the dash, and filling some small holes, this will be sanded back in fine grade sandpaper as well. well all pieces are complete, i will have them sprayed and then get them ready for casting.
