today's update, nothing big I only had about 2 hours to work so. I stripped the paint off the roof, and found some surface rust underneath. So it hit it with the sander with some 60 grit to get most of it off then sprayed some rust neutralizer from eastwood co, followed by epoxy primer. There are a few dents at the rear of the roof that ill hammer/dolly out tomorrow, but so far no bondo!:bowdown

Ah, gotcha. I hadn't heard of newly manufactured dash pads for the *ahem* vintage cars so I was intrigued. the one you got though is in great shape. The kid who I bought my 69 from covered the dash with upholstery. I'm not a fan. I love what your doing though.

 

[ColdCougar]

If Im not mistaken they DO repop the dash pads for the earlier cars ... I dont think they do for the 69 though Jules at least I KNOW they dont for my Cougar

I will look for leeenk
