Need a brand new rear skin....I believe it's for a 336 but could be altered to fit. Same price I paid...NOTHING, just cover shipping.

I am having all dash panels cut out of aluminum and powdercoated white. The panels will get airbrushed with what ever graphics the airbrush guy says will look good. The main dash is staying black for the time being and if I dont like it I will pull the windshield off next winter and have the whole dash painted white. I am putting in Livorsi Gauges with white dials. All toggle switches are getting changed out with the white rocker switches. The drive and trim tab switches will also get changed to white. I am unsure what color rims I am going with on the gauges. Probably white rims with blue bezels or possibly blue rims and blue or chrome bezels. I am going to get my sticks sandblasted and powdercoated either white or blue also. The steering wheel is going to get changed to either white or blue. I havn't ordered gauges yet but i am going to have to make a decision soon on what I want. I plan on checking out some others that have been updated and see if I can find something I really like. I am also open to suggestions on what might look good as well.
 
I am really looking forward to getting it all back together now that it is in pieces. I will post more pictures throughout the process.
 
If you need Livorsi gauges, rigging, switches etc...let me know and i will give you a great deal. Ask others...I treat people very well.

Have some items on my site but can do better on the pricing. Email me a list and lets see how it shakes out.

The wood appears to be in decent shape in the bolsters and the backrest of the back seat. We wont know about the engine hatch or the bottom of the back seat untill it gets torn down. Hoping to get lucky and not have to replace any of the wood. :seeya:

Now is the best time to paint the dash when everything has been removed. No sense in doing double the work. Good Luck w/your project and I hope it exceeds your expectations!

The main dash is staying black for the time being and if I dont like it I will pull the windshield off next winter and have the whole dash painted white.

If you are going this far, go all the way while it is apart and pull the windshield now and paint the dash. I would not paint it white due to glare. Given your color scheme, painting it a light grey might just be the ticket. I just think the black will look really out of place once it is all back together. Good luck with the project and keep the pics coming!!! :cool:
 
I have to agree. Go ahead and paint the dash now. You will hate having to pull everything in the dash apart again later to redo it.

Do it now and save the hassel next winter.
