    Well a 3 day weekend let me get a lot of stuff done. I acid dipped the dash and entire rear end and drums and got it all back together. I also finished installing 90% the interior.

    I choose to acid dip because it had rust on the inside of it where you normally can not see. This seems pretty common in maverick and comet dashes. I choose to epoxy the entire dash, then I used a light coating of rubber undercoating on the inside portion of the dash. I have done this in the past and basically will make it last forever. The front portion was epoxied, urethaned, then body worked and painted black.

    Looks good!

    Please be careful putting the dash back in though. I'd hate to see an update where those nice seats were cut by it!

    Very nice work over the whole thing. Did you buy a kit for the seats or have a shop do them? What about the door panels?
