Fillin' The Holes and Fixin' The Cracks

[cyclone]

last night todd and i began the repairs. There are pics of us grinding out all the cracks in the glass under the Project Pics thread. these are the pics of us filling in the holes. We started by cutting out fiberglass mat in the general shape of the areas we ground down. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Gearhead_Garage/Other_Equipment/glasscutandlaid.JPG
Then Todd mixed up this stuff that i cant spell the name of. Basically he used it to fill the big holes and give the glass something to set up on top of.http://free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Gearhead_Garage/Other_Equipment/mixingstuff.JPG

and then he filled the holes with the stuff. This photo is of the messed up ignition switch hole that the previous owner just cut in between the gauges because he thought that looked good!
