RollinSoLow Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 ok im sure this has been asked before but i couldnt find it in a search i just pick up a 88 s-10 blazer and the dash surely isnt in the greatest condtion "dull and cracked of course" now the dash is only cracked in too places right at the corners at the speaker grills pretty comman im sure but my question is how would i go about fixing this? i know you can throw some glass over the hole dash or wrap it which i might end up doing if i can find the right color tweed but what kinda of product can i use to fill in the cracks and not have to worry about it shrenking or expanding in the weather i would just say f*** it and glass the whole thing but im not to kind on the glossy look blaring me in eyes theres a place here in cali called pan am that redo's dash but for the price i could buy another vehicle well thanks for everyones time and comments are always helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Bassick - Kimo Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Skydiving accident? sorry to hear about that. I know its probably old news by now but new for me. Well bro your in a great forum. What part of Cali you from? Old School Blazer with old school Equipment. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Just depends what your going for. I got some old school plans myself. I hope to have that project rolling and at least the system completed by next February for Autorama in Sacramento. So whats your plans for the three-way? how do you plan on mounting them? I personally run an '82 S10 pickup for my comp car and my family owns two s10 blazers '83 and '89 and a full size '75 (just had to throw that in LOL). So let me know if you got any questions.

I'm a chevy man, I'll list the cars later. LOL In my s10 I've got majority Earthquake equpiment (might change soon) two 15" DBXi-d each powered by a phd10000W/D1 and ph2200W/4 set of Boston Acoustic 6.53 (3-way). With an alpine head unit in front. so are you going to leave the back seat in the blazer or take it out?
