    I want to attach my dash to my body. Do I use fiberglass cloth or hair in between both, or can I use bondo?

    Thanks, T-Bucket Bob

    Speedway body too? I'd ask Speedway how best to do it.

    Given that these fiberglass bodies flex, I would attach it for as much strength as I could. The 'hair' idea sounds good, and cloth would be even better, but requiring a little more work. If you want to get creative, you could add a feature, like a little reveal along the dash to minimize the visibility of any later cracking. Just sayin . . .
