I tried bondo and glass (underneath) on the plastic upper dash panel on my 80 regal. Lasted a couple of weeks before cracks appeared. Bondo and glass was just too rigid. There are proper dash repair kits out there that produce a more flexible repair; however I have never used them. Here is one from Eastwood

If that could fix a vinyl dash that would be great. Any one tried this?

Have you thought about a dash cover,I have used Dashtoppers By Palco Industries.
I just put one on my neighbors 68 Cutlass.
I got new lower door panels for my 78 El Camino from them their stuff looks good and is easy to install.
