    Finished painting the dash. Stripped all the black paint from the lights and wiper knobs (yes, someone painted them black). Installed the new dash pad and re-installed the heater controls, gauge cluster and ash tray. Also pulled the kick panels and repainted them and installed the missing package tray bracket so I can put it in tomorrow.

    Installed the package tray so now the entire dash is done. Also disassembled the doors, painted them, fixed and painted the door panels and cleaned up the hardware. The interior looks almost like a new car... if you don't look up at the missing headliner.

    I shot 3 coats of Krylon black primer and 3 coats of Krylon semi-flat black on everything. I like the semi-flat because it has a nice sheen but doesn't look spray-painted. It also matches the black vinyl on the seats beter than full gloss.
