But i think my back panels are a wider than yours, but anyways I can just sand it down and then bondo right???
Ohh can u show me the Control Panel, I wanna see it. Ohhh should I dismantle the side panels and apply new vinyl to them on the insides.??

Thanks, I wish I had some "before" pics to show how that cab looked when I got it.
Dynamo has made a few variations on their basic cab design, but they're all made pretty much the same. Bondo will work quite well on all of them.
Sadly that cab hasn't progressed much since the thread, I've made a bezel for it a few months ago but I rarely have the time to work on it these days. The control panel is still as pictured in the thread.
As to removing the sides, I wouldn't if I could avoid doing so. My cab had swollen edges all around the outside, but the inside edges were good enough to leave alone. I did fill the T-molding grooves with bondo and then cut fresh grooves with a router.

Hmmm I see, so you recommend me to trim the back panel till it's 3/4" and then bondo ???
I forgot to post the pictures yesterday, too busy when I got home.

I ground my edges a little low and built them back up with Bondo.
Post your pics and we'll take it from there. :)

Ground the edges, with a grinder?. I don't have a grinder, can I sand it down?
HERE ARE THE PICS, can you see the damage.

Sure you can. I'd suggest a belt sander with a really rough belt, but a block of wood wrapped in sand paper would suffice.
