Sounds good. I don't know if I'll have mine finished by then or not. I'm on the fence here over the dash. Don't wanna send mine off and don't wanna wait too long on the repops. Ya know. Your car is looking awesome by the way

well bud, if you dont mind the dash being 100% correct but want to have a dash to use..... I can fix the cracks like the guy did on TAC, just did mine, came out great.... texture is just wrong, but then again I have an idea for texture correct too.... I have another dash Im gonna play with.... Im the same way.... got a spare, dont wanna spend the $ to get it done, but then again, dont want to wait forever on a new one, so I fixed what I had for under 100 bucks.... it will do til the repops come out.... or If I send out this other one, til i get it back..... thanks for the words, yours is stunning.....

Okay. We'll see what happens with my dash. I have a black one with a small gouge in a roll that can be fixed. Its just not as soft as I'd like. i may redye it and stuff it in there and kill anyone that touches the dash! LOL.

Hey Tin your car is looking amazing!!! Hey I saw you and eroc talking about your dash may I suggest what I saw in T/A Kids resto post http://www.78ta.com/smf/index.php?topic=18704.60 I was thinking about doing it to mine. Hope this helps you decide lol. Good luck and I look forward to seeing it done.

Thanks Guys. I cant wait until its all buttoned back up! Wheels are done and dressed. Stupid to think I bought those caps and bands 7 years ago NOS cause I was scared I wouldn't be able to find them when the wheels were finished. Now you can buy repops for less than 300 bucks for both the bands and caps! UGH!

Thanks fellows. To think I was all prepared to sell those wheels to reaper less than two weeks ago. So glad I kept them. I have a set for the car in magnesium and a set for the car in gold. The spare set is going on my car trailer. I hope that will look cool.
