    Chopweld, I cant wait to get the dash parts all together in one piece, Thanks again!!!! I think with the holidays coming on we all are a little tight on project funds but still open to offers!?!?!?!?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Now comes the FUN part!!! Putting it back together and not scratching or chipping it.

    It looks so good and I cant make a decision on using side moulding or not. I have some change invested in the trim Im using and not sure if Im going to stick it to the side of this thing right now!?!?!?!?

    I'd say, try it without trim first. You can always drill holes in it later, but it's harder to un-drill them with that fresh paint.:eek: Anyway, NICE JOB, man. It always pays if you stick with it.

    Looks Great Chad. Inspires me to work harder on my Merc projects. I like the gas door, subtle change, but effective.
