Re: 1968 GMC Shorty - Pearl

Got a delivery of parts the other day for Pearl so progress should be picking up soon.

I did play around with a potential candidate for the dash paint today. I could not find any reproduction dash pads that are the correct dark aqua color so I had to dye my own. I bought a can of vinyl dye from The Parts Place color M04 Dark Aqua. I also used SEM vinyl dye prep before applying any of the actual dye. The first picture is the new dark olive green dash pad that I bought to dye. I think it turned out pretty good, once it all cures I’ll post a pic comparing to a sample from my old dash pad for reference. Last picture is the same dash pad in different lighting
