Dahboard Repair

I also had good results with gorilla glue, but as noted, metal prep was crucial. Bead blasting was the quickest way for me to get rid of the surface rust, followed by thorough air blasting to remove residual media. After re-gluing the parts, I used leather/vinyl dye from World Upholstery to freshen up the exterior surfaces. Re-flocking the interior surfaces was fun and relatively inexpensive, as far as e9 restoration goes. Flocking supplies: www.craftflocking.com.

All I had to do was glue things together, but your stuff really turned out great... That's a whole nother level and Looks NEW! Thanks for sharing.

Right, just finished glueing the halfs together with the epoxy in the tandem tube. Of course I got home from Lowes with the plastic/metal special stuff that cures in 50 minutes, minutes after Riblett suggested using the longer setting stuff! Oh well, I clamped the parts as shown above and it worked out great! Almost as new!

Thanks guys!

Glad it worked out.
