Not finished yet. Did the paint on Saturday, and the rest on Sunday but it got dark and chilly. Have to do it in spurts -Cowboys v Redskins and Eagles v Giants. Also doing it outside as I have AC compressor pulled off waiting for a clutch. And it gets dark early. Hope to get inside cleaned out and clean out ductwork today and start back together.

Looks good. I wish I could have been there to help indulge in the beverages!

He bought a dodge! Rams are notorious for cracked dash's. My neighbors 98 is like that.

Ouch, I'm hoping mine holds up. No cracks yet that I can see. I should post pics of the inside of my truck, pretty good shape.

My 99 is fine so far, it has over 200k on it and not all of them nice, was a hwy escort vehicle. Now the Dash in my old 99 neon fell to pieces like that, same issue, thin as hell and very brittle, especialy in cold weather when the cluster quits working due to cold solder joints and you have to smack the dash to see how fast your going...
