No I used Metal to Metal made by Evercoat the fillers we use on body repairs on cars wont stand the cure heat of the powder I did some research on it seems that a lot use it on motorcycle frames and such not a lot of buggys have dash's like this with the exception of maybe Adam Woodley and Brian Cole most are just bars I wanted something a little different

This is interesting. Can you see any signs of being affected by the heat up close?

99% of the dash area is fine no problem one area about the size of your hand on the left cowl has got a place that I can see and I believe that it was our fault for whatever happened that was the first panel that we put the filler on and it took it a long time to cure and get hard (not enough hardner activator ) after that we added more to what we were mixing and it was fine I would not be afraid of using it again under powder to awnser your question the dash does not look any different than any of the tubing
