How to Restore/Fix/Repair a Cracked Vinyl Dash - Toyota Hilux Pickup/4Runner

Today I'm restoring an old cracked dash from a 1987 Toyota Pickup Truck using the following steps:
- grind the cracks into a V groove with a dremel
- enlarge vent openings
- fill cracks with long strand bondo
- fill smaller areas with regular bondo
- sand smooth
- apply adhesive to vinyl and dash
- wrap vinyl over dash
- trim excess vinyl
