I needed to free up some space before I start working on the doors. The motor is in and FYI install power steering bracket and trans line clip before you find out as I did and pull motor again.

Casey, your right needed to download phone pictures hope they work. Here is a small update. I completed the engine bay AC stuff and still working on under dash things. I repaired the cut radio hole, I got an aftermarket speaker because that will need to go in first or never get it in, dash pad, middle AC vent and ducting work my way down and out. I had a paint shop mix GM 521 to factory spec. and put in spray can application I'll post when I get the dash painted.

Thanks guys, I couldn't have done half of this without the information on the board.
I didnt remove the needles, if you noticed the aluminum foil in the photo I cut small slots and slid it under the needles and pressed in place and used a brush on reflective needle paint.

Great idea, thanks for sharing I've been wanting to do that for a while and didn't want to break it
Is the paint available online, looks like a good match

Yes, the paint is available online and worked great. The bottle I have has plenty more if you need it.

Thanks Jothan, Thanks again with the parts you helped me out with. I did finish up the dash area so I'll start on the doors.

I had some sandblasting done on my doors and fenders, does anyone know how should I prep the surfaces until I can repair?
Thanks.

Started working on the doors and they need some patches. Any tips or advice on welding this together, butt weld, lap weld?
Thanks 7D2N

I'd butt weld it. Nice work so far.

Good luck, Rg

I'm fitting the patch panels on the doors, checking the fit and alinement before I cut for welding.
