It's coming along nicely, but that shiney dash will blind you on the sunny days. When I bought my 62 Biscayne the kid painted it in glossy paint. The ride home was annoying as hell. I took some scotchbirte pads and sanded it down and painted it will dull clear.

Thanks. I've had shiny dashes on all my impalas. The glare never really bothered me.
