Well here is the dash about 95% done. Two more pin holes to fill and grind as well as a little touch up to clean things up. Also have to drill a new hole for the steering colum and rework where the fuse block went.

Once I finish up the dash the car will come back down off the sawhorses to get the ragtop treatment and rear bumper mount repaired. The front end of the car is done now. Have the hood release tube welded in and looking good. Will get the car blasted after the welding is done hopefully and then all of the body work will start. :x

Nothing new in the way of body work, but I picked up a new part for the car(CB performance wide 5 link pin drop spindles):
Image

The calipers are there as well as well as the other side, I just didnt take a pic of them. The car is nowhere close to needing these, I just couldnt pass them up. More motivation to get cracking on the car. I did run into a snag with the car. I had a decklid with about 8 layers of paint. After cleaning some of it I realized that it was dented with a pretty bad crease. Now I have to hunt one down, so I can work on that aspect of the project. :evil:
