Does look good. Have fun doing the main part. Disconnect the battery and bull the passenger airbag so you get a nice coat. pull the glove box cover as well.

Somebody said red and black? Older shots. Need to get some newer ones. Chrome door handles, billet a/c ***** on order, main dash is complete. Seats, carpet and headliner will be taken care of next.

All you need now is some red floor lights. I really like how you painted yours. Did you use a spray can or what? And what did you do for the prep

Love the dash but when the sun hits it, mans its gonna blind you. Got dark green on mine but the glossy finish is very bright when the sun is just right.

I think his windshield is tinted so that's not much of a problem.
