Repairing a Dash Pad for OBS Ford F-Series
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Since we're dealing with Mom & Dad's farm truck, the end results don't have to be perfect. Plus it's a huge upgrade compared to the current condition of their dash pad. I wanted low-risk opportunity to learn something, and I definitely accomplished that repairing a dash pad for an OBS Ford F-150. And special thanks to @HFG for making this solution possible.

Gear I shot this with (paid links):

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens - amzn.to/2QHSvOm

The band aid stickers finish the repair off perfectly. If you want a better cover you can throw a dash mat cover over the top!
My thinking as well. Mom and dad might not even use the truck 5 years from now
You were using a Dremel tool, you could have cut any pattern in the Bondo you wanted and then color match paint to finish. But I enjoyed the video.
This was a low stakes experiment (for mom and dad's farm truck) but it helped me (along with your comment) learn what does and doesn't work for the next go around when I did some dash repair on my G-body. Kind of fun to try something without worrying about final results Definitely paid off as experience tho for the next time.
I would have just left it alone .
yea, it was an experiment. Had nothing to lose. If it wasn't a farm truck, and now after my experience I'd probably do something different too
I don't know, but it's looking great so far! 👌
thanks! Works for me!
Good luck on the repair and should work great on the farm truck
I'm happy with it. Just wish I could have included a side by side by of their dash pad compared to this one. It will be a huge improvement
you can just hit the whole dash with 80 grit then clean and spray with canned bedliner then use a paint that matches the interior color. If you wanted an uniform texture across. alot of guys use the foam, some use epoxy instead of bondo. I think the bondos just fine.
I had heard of the bedliner trick for texture... just didn't want to buy two cans of paint for this. But I bet it works great
The foam probably made a more stable base for the bondo. I think you can use a piece of the textured vinyl to make an imprint on the bondo(if you have a piece)
That's what I'll make sure of for the next go around
@@Str8sixfan Was thinking about it. Would be pretty hard to imprint texture because of needing to sand the bondo. I do recall a product that used a patch that you would press over the damaged area with heat. Sixtyfiveford did an amazing dash repair with bondo on his channel. ruclips.net/video/2INF3RJEn08/видео.html&ab_channel=sixtyfiveford
At the same time tho...it's good conversation, and good to know when the stakes are higher on the next one. Good to have options
Full Disclosure: The foam was my idea. Sorry it didn't work out. I thought the foam would match the base foam better :( Sorry, bud. I'm glad you like the stickers 👍🏼👍🏼
Foam worked alright...and I swore I was already thinking of doing the foam anyway. But stickers turned out great
Excellent. The cavities are filled and dash band aids look much better than duct tape.
I'm happy with it.
Nice job buddy. It looks a lot better than the before the repair shots. Big Al.
Thanks Big Al
Turned out great.
Thanks Erik!
And Band-Aid stickers on cars are just kind of funny anyway it's a good job man!
glad you get it Johnny!
I wonder if there are kits out there that include a texture mold. When I worked with Kemlite/FRP panels, they had repair kits that included a clear plastic sheet with texture to match. You would just peel it off after the patch hardened.
oh yeah, that would have been a perfect way to handle that
Well now I know what not to do. Thanks for the experiment
yea, wasn't necessarily the best results, but it was low stakes
The music is to loud
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try harder on the next one
