So, I'm taking a trip down to Bremerton, Washington. I wanted some advise on road trips, just in case I miss something. I've never taken one by myself, so I don't know how hard it is.
What should I do with my car that requires little or no money, but gives me a better chance of coming back alive???
It's a about 1200 miles there and back, just so you get an idea. I live in Boise Idaho.
Anyway, I've got some things figured out already.
Also, anyone know any good ways to...

I also wanted to maybe sand-blast my dash to get the smooth texture then maybe use fiber glass to build a mold over the original and use both to shape it how I want it. But, does anyone know if I could maybe just build a fierglass version off of the old one and use that? Comments, suggestions...? I don't know much about cars (well, probably more than some girls my age), but I'd love to learn!!!!
