    Nice! I painted my dash in January, and doing it in the car is never fun. The worst part is, I'm still gonna pull it. Its gonna make this December interesting...

    Looking good man! Any pics of the rest of the car?

    Oh and yes painting the dash in the car was a nightmare! I should have pulled it. It has alot of imperfections in it that you cant see from the photo but i got so frustrated i left alone and im forging ahead, Ill come back to it when im in a better state of mind. Gonna start stripping the outside of it today if the rain will hold off long enough.

    looking good...i painted mine, but since i was putting in a new harness i just pulled it out. BUT like a dummy i didnt take the time to fix dings and patch a few things up, so it will come out again down the road...i just wanted to drive for now, not a show car.

    are you doing your own carpet? I thought i would have someone recarpet mine, skeered i guess. how bad is it?
