.

Computer:

Motherboard ECS 741GX-M
Xenarc 7'' TSV
AMD Mobile 2200 M
Corsair 512MB DDR333
WD 2.5 5400 60GB
DVD-slim slot
GPS Bu-353 with Iguidance (I think)
Road Runner
.

Here is a computer: finished ( still working on software )

sorry, it little messy.

here is the dash, the dash is kinda small for the screen. So I used the dremel to cut it to fit with the screen. After that I used the bondo that I bought from Autozone, I don't know if I bought a wrong bondo or what, Once I tried to apply some bondo to the screen, and it seem like the bondo didn't dry, after 20 mins still wet, Then I decide to clean up the bondo and ask you guys some question. Anyways here is my dash with the screen and the bondo I bought.

Dash:

Bondo:

On the picture of my dash, and the things that I circled it, there were 2 hole on the right end and the left end of the screen, can you guys give me some information like what material I can use to close that hole? and what kind of things I need to use to make my dash look smooth, and what kind of sand paper I need. I got some paint already. Thanks. I will follow you guys intruction and will post the pix.

oh oh, thanks for you help, so right now I need to buy some epoxy, so I can glue the screen from the back, then buy some bondo body filler, hmm what about the hole between the dash and the screen

and how many kind of sand paper I need to buy, thanks

tape the front...epoxy it in the back..when it dries take the tape off...and bondo the front....get different grits of sandpaper..i reccomend 80..120..180..220 and the higher the number the smother u make it...start off with the 80 to 120 first tho.

thanks, EsKLad, will try it tomorrow. it's late now. Also, Do I need to use a sand paper to sand the dash and the screen ? Because it looks messy, thanks.

Just went to Auto Zone, and bought some bondo and sand paper.

.........I taped the front

........then epoxy from the back, now I have to wait 'till it dried.

**EsKALad** · 05-25-2006, 06:57 PM

well done! i suggest putting more epoxy on the back make a nice build up and that sucker wont go anywhere..which is better and will cause no cracking inthe bondo.
