I Love the Look. I'm especially impressed with the high gloss finish on pretty much everything. I'm curious what material you used to replace the dash with.
...Thanks George.... ....the dash, center console, door panels, etc. were finished out with a polyester filler material then primed, base coated, airbrushed, & cleared.....
