Dash looks awesome. I'm sure it's in the thread somewhere, but I'm too lazy to go through it all. Is the stripe on your car custom, or is Thant a factory 70 stripe?

His stripe is a factory 1970 stripe, it is called a strobe stripe :2thumbs:

I had to ask that same thing when I saw it. I've seen two of those now, the other being on 4Cruizn's convertible.

Huh. I thought it was custom. Didn't know Plymouth made a stripe like that. I think Lemoorace has a similar stripe.

got a little work done over the past few weeks.  I had the Dana rebuilt. Bearings and clutch packs were toast so that should quiet things down a bit  :thumbsup:  Picking it up next week. I can`t wait to test drive  :burnout: :bananasmi   
I also had the column apart. Replaced upper bearing and coupler and painted the thing. The steering wheel had high gloss lacquer and polished alu. Not my taste so I sanded it down to the wood and colored it to " me like " level and brushed the aluminium.
Note to self...:

Wheel looks better.
I started with a wooden style in my pace car, but then switched over to a black leather-style Grant wheel.  It just didn't look "right" and was standing out too much.
