Got the dash out. Finished up the instrument cluster. Previous owners tried to glue the dash pad down. The wiring and finish work is horrendous.
I'm just trying to get stuff working good enough I can drive it around for now.
So far pretty happy with the condition of the body. Even hidden places I'm finding only surface corrosion. I was worried about the metal under the trim around the rear window. Theres some bubbles in the paint, but it doesn't go all the way through. I think we can fix this up without major work.
Had issues with mounting studs on new dash pad. 2 of them were twisted and threads were boogered. Got them fixed though and new pad looks much improved over the old one.
Getting a little farther with the new dash.
My son has been helping me. He's been polishing the aluminum trim pieces. They are turning out really nice.
