that would be great, i went to a seminar with john dickens at east coast fiberglass a month or so ago, he certainly inspires confidence.

As for how the mould was made, i just made the dash from some old wood, attached some old 2inch timber at the rear on the bottom and sanded the shape into it. I then used a load of bodyfiller to get it as smooth as i could, painted it, pva'd it and covered it in four layers of matting. Then used that as a mould to lay up the actual dash.
