My dash is in the same situation as yours. It's in my basement and I just sprayed it the same color. Looks identical. :yes: I'm waiting to get my gauges/bezels back from being refurbished by Gcar in Wa.

Dug the bonnet out of hiding in the roof. Its fiber glass & im not sure if i should go with this style scoop or change it to a old ram charger type. Car goes in for paint next week.
What do you guys think. The other scoop Is sitting on the boot of my other car for photos only.

Thanks guys. Have started to get some colour on. My son came back from Austraila to paint it for me. Paint will be finished next week.
Starting to see it finished after having it sit in the garage in peices for more than fifteen years

nice project. sure doesn't look like there is much clearance with those back tires.

hI thanks for the comments. Back wheels have full suspension travel & no guard rub. Will be set up as low as possible when finished.

Paint finished tody. Will get some pics up soon
