Hey what did you use to spray the dash with? My interior was some shade of cream white gold lol kind of hard to be sure now. I think I am going to go with the same black dash cap you ordered. Just not sure what to paint the rest with.

I hate to come across like an asshole. But, your headliner is so wrinkled. Cant you pull it taut or iron it or something?

Looking good!  I have my 73 in the shop now getting soda blasted....doors, trunk, hood, fenders off!  Quarters have some new metal!  Rear window needs the glass guy to remove and repair a leak!  I go to the shop tomorrow and will take pix!

Yeah...LOL, I decided not to clean or paint anything underneath, because its a driver. I was discussing this in another post....Its the numbers matching trans, I guess the last person that had it out, thought it would look better yellow  :shruggy:

Thanks Brian, It runs pretty good for a small block in such a big car...I dont know if you seen my post in the engine section, but it was running a little rough, found out the coil was the culprit, after replacing it, it really woke the car up. Its pretty much a stock rebuilt (Before I purchased it) ...but it will burnout pretty good  :icon_smile_big:.



MORE PICS....
My Pops came by after I got off work today to help me re-install the hood. I was dreading it, but we got it on pretty quick with out a hitch....didn't take that much adjusting to get the gaps even.

Yep, first time + hurry = wrinkles. I have since pulled it a little tighter, and the heat of the summer time has removed alot of the fold wrinkles from where it was in the box. Still not perfect, but good enough for a driver. I plan on taking my time and doing a better job on the '69.
You're welcome to post pics of your headliner.
