(hopefully I'll get everything this time around)

Materials:

Bondo / Fiber glass resin, take your pick. I used bondo for this.

Autometer 2-gauge panel, Part # ATM-2237 at summit.

Dremel, Wooden dowels, hot glue gun, sand paper, paint, etc... you get the point.

The basic process is this: Use the wooden dowels to make a "frame" for the panel. Once you have a frame holding it in place, body fill in all of the gaps, sand down, paint, and install!!

Feel free to ask questions. Some of the pics are below..

I think what he's saying is that the title says 'HOW-TO' but it's not in the HOW-TO forum.

Yeah the "frame" from the dowels was just temporary.. need something to hold that bondo up while it cures. It's rock solid now tho..

edit: that picture with all the "shiny" stuff, that's just a bit of packing tape.. gotta have something there temporarily so all the bondo doesn't fall through. just pick it off when you are done.
