Looking good. Some progress is better than none. Hope you get it finished soon.

 

[roadrunnerbob]

here’s a little more progress paint lifted on the dashboard so got to redo it

 

[Russ69Runner]

Looking good. Did you get your dash paint from that company in Cla. It is not cheap but the right paint. Some of the paint can be gotten from for paint.com.

more progress dashboard almost done

That's a great, rich color.
And the best thing for me is .....no vinyl top.

What paint did you use on the dash?
My dash frame gave me fits.
Bent and rusty.
(Someone pried open the glove box.)
My research revealed they were lacquer paint.
And the only people that had any of the discontinued product was Instrument Specialties.
Expensive and sold by the pint?
I used PPG "Hot Rod Black" and was pretty happy with the results.
Not exactly correct buy fine for my use.
I'm just going to use epoxy appliance black for the doors and quarter trim.

Looks like you patched in the floor.
I just did that.
Of course AMD didn't have the 3/4 section till after I had painted the back half and had the head liner in.
So I had to be careful.

I didn't even bother with my fenders.
Mine are straight but just to rusty to spend time on.
I'm running out of time.
AMD replacements will work instead.

bought my dash paint from Global paint in California. Was not cheap but what is. LOL. Inner door black was Matrix paint.

i used PPG hot rod black on the dashboard and dupa color vinyl paint on the pads radio cover is NOS i think it came out great

 

[roadrunnerbob]

The dashboard is in i think it looks great

 

[Russ69Runner]

Looking good. Now it is starting to look like you have made progress. It is all down hill from here.

 

[roadrunnerbob]

windshield is in i am happy

 

[Rapid Transit]

In my limited experience with the windshield install on a B body, don't put the trim on till you leak check the windshield.
Took me 3 times on a first gen Charger.
Gaskets were a poor fit among other issues.

 

[roadrunnerbob]

yes i will leak test first also my buddy wants to cut and buff it before i put the trim on

 

[Russ69Runner]

Did you put calking in the gasket where the window fits. My glass guy said the glass fit tight enough that it would not leak. Yea right. Had to go back and use plastic tools and open up and put calk in around the glass at bottom and up the A pillar area. Where the glass was in the gasket. I think you cannot put enough calk when installing it. Just have to clean up the mess.

 

[roadrunnerbob]

steering column and steering wheel installed

 

[Russ69Runner]

Sweet coming along fine.

 

[roadrunnerbob]
