Wow, Casey! That thing looks so good. The '71 R/T stripe is very cool, and with all that black, just wow.

Keep up the good work!

Wow that is a great looking car!  How did you redo your dash pad, and what kind of paint did you use for your dash frame, glove box, ash tray, etc.?

It is just a dash cap for now glued to the top. I am not sure on the paint, the dash was restored by my neighbor who has helped me with teh car.
