Keep up the great work! that is one sick dash. gonna be a sweet ride

Thanks. Still a long way to go on the dash, but it's getting there. Hopefully after hitting a couple low spots I can hit it with some primer and see how bad it really is!

So you are sticking a sub in the dash?

Yes an 8" image dynamic ID8. Would have liked to go bigger, but reality in the trunk is at a premium with the piston pump, 2 regular pumps, 9 group 31 batteries, and 16" cylinders.

Well onto to the progress from this weekend:

Sanded down the dash bezel with 360 grit and got all the glue off of it (that was a treat) sending the bezel out to get chrome plated:

Also did some molding on my spindles and finished those up. Sending those out to chrome as well:

Got my dash piece back from chrome plating (plastic that is!) Turned out amazing. Just couldn't get a very good pic of it due to the shine on it.
