Spread out filler and sanded it smooth today. Unfortunately the wind was blowing 40 MPH so there was no painting today, plus I found another crack that needed to be fixed...
Some of the tools of the trade.... you have to make shaping tools based on what your sanding. I used 150 grit because this is all shaping. It is a mistake thinking you can get it done in one or two passes. It will take 4-5 passes to get a really nice job so just admit it to yourself and do it.

DAMN IT found another crack I missed.... I baked this one for 2 hours but the wind was so bad I could not spray anyway so I moved on to the dash. Also after the oven the dog banged the table and it rolled off and crashed on the tile. It held up just fine!

Off to the dash. This housing for the pushbutton shifter has a rubber spacer but after 56 years it is hard and brittle and loose. I started looked for a solution....

Tried some R134a o rings but that was not very good.
