Dean that car is really incredible. A great color and those wheels look great on it! Really looking forward to the day when you say it running.

Been working on the dash. Filled all cracks. Sanded. Covered with closed cell foam. Sanded. Glued the cover across the top and face only. After that part is fully dried then I will stretch the fine fit the rest. I am very pleased so far.

After many tries...I do not see how you can cover one in one day. I think it works better if you get the large flat areas glued and dried and THEN do the stretching later...but thats just me.
