New “under dash”

[DodgeLady]

Hot glue didn’t work lol. Unless I didn’t have the right kind. As soon as it dried, it pretty much peeled off. Got this stuff:

It worked very well at reattaching broken pieces. Here is my application of the Noico 80 vibration dampening stuff. Huge improvement so far IMHO:

I notice the metal frame that your dash is attached to. Can you post a few more pictures showing that frame? That comes out with the dash? The one I purchased has only plastic and maybe I need to get the metal frame out of my truck to attach the new dash?

I’ll snap some tomorrow, but the plastic dash core is riveted to the metal frame in a few locations. The one in your truck should come out as an assembly.

As promised. Here are the rivet points from the frame to the plastic in order from driver side to passenger.

Did you paint your dash? It looks really good.
I haven’t gotten my paint yet. Haven’t gotten the old dash out. Looking forward to the weekend to make some progress!

I have not. I ordered my dash top and paint from LMC. Waiting on it to get here. I’ll be painting it tan.

Nice!! My glue didn’t hold up, so I’m going the plastic welding route. The small part I’ve done so far seems promising.

This stuff works well.

I had some in dark gray that matches my dash great.

I used the same JB weld on some of my dash parts also. It worked really well.

I’m honestly loving this plastic welding lol. It doesn’t look pretty, but it’s all going to be covered, so I couldn’t care less lol.

Here’s a good article I found on how to do the plastic repairs without the welder. I have also had success fixing things with my soldering iron at work.
