Hey all, new to this forum and first post. Always wrenching on my two '66 Fords and looking to learn more autobody techniques.
My current challenge is repairing the interior fiberglass panels on my '66 Mustang Fastback. They are cast with a texture in the fiberglass, but mine were cut up so I had to patch the holes with fiberglass. However, I'm now having troubles trying to replicate the texture of the fiberglass. I tried spreading a thin layer of 2-part epoxy over top of the fiberglass repair then when it almost dries rolling a piece of textured vinyl fabric over top, but this is the result.
My next plan is the sand down the patched areas and try making a silicon template from a good section of the panel, then using bondo body filler or resin jelly and stamping that? Open to suggestions.
Thanks!
Brent
