Dashboard is Done

The wrinkle paint turned out real well, neat to see the paint change texture when you apply a hair dryer to it.  The middle portion of the dash, where are the gauges reside, is the wrinkle paint.  Was a pain removing all the gauges and switches to paint it, but I'm glad I did it right.  Got the glove box and it's door installed. 

Next stage will be installing capping around upper edge of cockpit, then get serious about the interior.

Exterior is almost done

Busy time of year so progress is slow, but still doing OK.  Focused on the exterior of the car, here's a shot of the front, I've got the grille and front bumper but I need some hardware to mount the grille so it's not on yet:

Windshield turned out real good, also pleased with the chrome fender trim and the scuttle vent.  Btw, I have a wiring pigtail for my battery tender accessible under the scuttle vent, that way I can charge the battery without raising the hood:

I have also placed the interior inside the car, not installed but just to see how it looks, I sure like the red piping:

Then here's a view of the rear of the car, which is basically done:

Lighting in this picture makes the color look kind of orange, it's really more red like the other pictures.

The wheel wells are undercoated, and all exterior sheet metal aligns pretty well.  That fender beading was pretty tough to get installed, esp the rear pieces that are original to the car.  The transmission cover was also hard to get all 15 bolts to line up with their retainer nuts in the floor, rear tunnel, and firewall.  Esp since the cover had been pretty rusty and the body guy had welded in some replacement sections.  Seems like 15 minute jobs take an hour or more all the time to get things to align.  But I figure once I get it re-installed once then the next time should go easy.
