The dash hole repair is easier that it appears and you can do the entire job yourself. opening. First rough up the back side of the dash with 60 grit paper 2" to 3" wider than the hole . The best method is to make a fiberglass repair plate an inch wider than the opening (if you don't have access to a piece I can send one today ) Then sand that area and the piece to be bonded and with the Fibral Light, fiberglass and mat it or ( but not cheap) is 3M Panel Bond) aka as " Corvette glue" you use this as an adhesive. Once the repair on the back side is cured, fill in the front area of the opening with the Fibral or " Tiger Hair " fiberglass " Bondo" sand that sorta even then skin coat - blending 2" wider than the opening to blend the repair evenly with the dash face. Sand with 220, 320, then 400 . Use a " filler primer " then sand and refinish as needed,
