69 Dart 440 Convertible

Thanks Jeff.
I used a Tinnerman clip and a sheet metal screw through one of the openings to mount the gauges to the cowl. I am undecided if they'll stay there or not. I might move them to the column.
As far as the trunk extensions, if you need to replace the whole piece, I would do it before paint. In my case, only the very lowest part of the extension was rotted, so I just cut what I needed from a repro pair and welded them in. They do weld to the lower part of the quarter, and also to the wheel opening so yes, it would ruin new paint.
Thanks for the compliments.
I haven't done much work to the car in a while as I've been getting the house ready for winter, but hopefully I'll be back on it within a week or so.
