Dash revival

[EpicenterDesigns]

Some may have seen the 40+ year old dash in RRRyan Jimmy.
It was sectioned and chopped several inches to fit.
Roughed in with a grinder and then painted to make a couple shows.

Here is what it looked like prior to the weekends action.......

Well I did not see any aircraft that needed removing. But the paint was stripped off.

BITCH

[EpicenterDesigns]

Did some Everglass on the lowest spots, banged out some of the high spots.
Did a quick knockdown and called it a night.

And then RRRyan and I started installing it back into the vehicle.
Even though it is still just primer, it looks awsome I must say.
And with the factory 64 Impala dash accessories and knobs, perfect.

And check out that fit of the dash up to the stock pillars.
