Is that a gloss paint on the top of your dash? If so, make sure you always have your sun glasses with you. You might get a lot of reflection from it.

I have done it on other chevelles. Angle of the windsheild it isn't in your eyes. Dash pad blocks direct reflection.

Got the inside of the glove box door and the lower dash done today. Can't tell from the pictures but it turned out as well as the top of the dash. Sun and brighter outside than in the car messed with the camera.

I got the hood jam and windows ready to paint now. Just waiting for rain to stop and a touch warmer. In a holding pattern till then. Guess I will do some actual work till then.

I got the hood jamb area sprayed. Now I got to put the front end back together. Go to one of the doors. I got a couple areas to touch up once it dries but decent overall.

It is a sickness a feeding frenzy. I kept going down and looking at it. I just couldn't let it dry. So I pulled the inner fenderwells out washed them and installed them. Tomorrow I can't do squat. Church and my sons soccer. I need more clear next run to the body place. And wow it needs cleaned in the front on the frame dust everywhere.

Nothing exciting. i got the front end back together and lined up. After the drama I went through lining everything the fist time. 68-69 chevelle hinges are a pain. I made 1/16 inch holes and made guide pins for re assembly. 2 on each hinge to fender mount. 1 on each hinge to hood. Slide the pins in tighten it down. Closed perfectly. Nosepiece was not tight when I did the body work and expected distortion when it was torqued. Nothing the final blocking wont cure. If left as is I doubt anyone would ever notice tho. It already way better than factory. Next on to removing the passenger door. Replace the lower hinge and jamb it out.
