That is a beautiful car. Have you ever considered gold rally stripes or Baldwin Motion style stripes?

so ye installed the dash pad (i thought forever),its been 3+ years. knowing about the "curl" i used a thin bead of 3M windshield urethane on initial install only from driver side to about middle of speaker center, this year i documented the curl on pass side it initially was flat before (first pic).so from my impressions from 3 year ago i am thinking not a bad idea. The weight that i used was about 18 pounds it is now pretty flush with the front of the dash. if it every needs remove should be easy piece of MIG wire. Next: a drive!

Comments? It looks like a brand new car!
Makes me wish my paint was shinier. You do not see many cars like yours at 50+ years old on the road. Especially in new, or better than new, condition.

And I am still scared to try to fix the "ramp" on my dash, yours turned out nice..

Nice to see a car without the rear spoiler for a change. I also like the black trim for the glass, too. Sweet!
