Kyle, When I smacked my bike up last year, I used a tube of "plastic weld" that I bought from Auto Zone. It is basically like epoxy, except for plastic. Even comes in the 2 part mixer syringe. Maybe put a piece of tape over the hole from behind, leaving the tape loose. Push the plastic filler in from the front, into the "loose" tape, and it will form sort of a rivet. Sand the filler down and prime and paint. Should come out OK. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyle Bennett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 4:47 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Dash for 71 chevelle
