Both the top and the middle dash are in need of repair.
For the top dash, i need to fill in the lost foam across a wide section in the bottom/left side, and then recover the whole with new black vinyl.
The middle dash has a lot of rot and rust in the metal frame, but i am hoping to reuse the foam/vinyl cover.
So 3 questions:
1) what is the best spray foam to use?
2) any recommended vinyl?
3) what grade sheet steel should I be using on the bottom dash?

2. Anything by Queen
3. Landy grade

Merry Christmas

I'm sure a better answer will be along at some point
