Yea, decided against doing the final paint in the garage, get it done properly. I'm also relishing the thought of Grant seeing all my handy work then shaking his head slowly and saying I should have just taken it to him in the first place. haha.

Cool I'll hurry it up so I can go in and take some dual Zed in the shop photos

Wow yea the dash looks amazing. Got to pay the cost to be the boss I guess! I'll call that stage three for our car.

I had my dash done by dash restorations when I restored the car cost $900 back then. Hate to think what costs now but like you it has come up looking like a new dash. 8 years later still looks like new.
