Finished! Brutal 'Cuda

Yeah, there was tons of money, wrappers, some tools under that seat. It was like a time capsule.

Got the underside coated w/3M paintable undercoating and proceded to paint it matte black. It is more of an orange peel finish than the factory stuff that is like dried lava. Will get some pics up.

Also took a break from bodywork and recovered the dash! Had to cover it with a thin layer of dense closed cell foam since it was cracked a bit. Used a good auto grade vinyl (uv resistant, etc..) stitched up a seam across the front. I used a super strong contact adhesive we have at work, not the home depot stuff. The trick for me was to lay the seam down first w/vinyl inside out and then get the rest on. Careful use of a heat gun helped on the corners. Now I just need to do the lower 2 since it's a 68. Will try to get a better pic.
