Butchered dashes are something we face on a regular basis so for the last several years we have been making filler plates out of 18g cold rolled sheet metal and panel bonding them in place. It's a no stress area and dash can be repaired in a couple hours (plus a day of finish to paint ready). Pics of a before and after 52 Suburban dash done with panel bond. Radio area was left blank till owner decided on what radio to use.
