Going in It is the perforated style I believe but my car was built on Oct 31 of 1972. I would like to see the black out area on the grill I need to do this before the motor goes in.

Here is a shot of the fender fit and gaps after rework and Paint. Charlie (mopes70) did an outstanding job on the metal repair and Show Quality Restoration (Longview) restored the finish. Charlie has been giving me advise and instruction along the way and I would not be where I'm at without his help.

Dissassemble my old dash. Took the frame over to have it powder coated and we experimented with the baking temps so as to not melt the rubber coating on the wire retention straps. I think it came out looking very nice.

Dash Assembly restored and ready for the install. wanted to wait until after the headliner was in so as to not get any misting spray glue on it.

What is the gloss level on the black powder caioted dash frame? Matte, suede, semi-gloss, flat, semi-flat, etc. I'll be redoing mine here very shortly.
