Not raining and it is reasonably warm. I made a trip to the auto body place. Got a soft rubber squeegie, some glaze, lots of tape, sandpaper in the large economy pack, door tape. The foam stuff for seams.
I hoping the weather holds out. When my wife goes to work if it is still nice I think that is the time. Fingers crossed.
Then back to blocking and see what is left to do.
Gauges were shipped I think, I got a notification of a UPS package from the same general area the gauges were purchased. They should be open I will call them.

Called about the gauges they are shipped.

Got the spray on bondo done. Wait a couple days and let this harden. Then back to work. First pic is the color it will be.

My gauges came. Awsome look totally factory front and back. I installed them in the gauge pod. Then wrapped them back up in plastic till it is that time to put them in. I am a happy camper right now.

Thank you. It been a long hard road collecting parts and fixing this thing.

Joke is when you start. Everytime you do something it just looks worse and more hopeless. Like taking it apart and cutting the rust out. Wow if despair is going to set in that is the time. I have caught myself wishing over the years. Why didn't I just slap a coat of paint on it leave it running and just drive it till it fell apart.

I finally to the part now where when I do something it actually looks better.
Now it is getting to the point it feels like it was worth it.

Todays adventure I finished prepping the top half of the dash. Mask off the upper firewall I screwed up working on the dash area. I re-sprayed it with hot rod black. Next when this dries do the upper part of the dash. Inside needs another coat of primer and it is ready then. Then move on to jamming under the hood. Assemble that mess again.

Making slow but sure progress.

Looking good. Been there done that on my car. All takes time to do it right. It's all worth it in the end.

Got the top half of the dash done today. Now the hard part for me. Stay away from working on it a few days so I don't mess up the fresh paint. I got a record for doing that.I reckon i grab the standard steering column and take it out side to sand so I don't loose it.
