New Dash Pad Installation

Got the old one off. It wasn't too bad. It was brittle so I ripped all of the padding off first, used tin snips to cut the metal strip around each threaded post and then just pulled up on them with enough tension to spin the nut free. Much easier than trying to get a tool up in there. The new one as you can see will need to be painted. Using SEM flexible medium parchment. Seems to be the best match I can find. We shall see. Fun little project so far. The interior is just about complete and ready for show season (it's only been to one car show in 42 years!) with the new steering wheel and dash pad. I need to get a new rubber floor cover and I'm good to go. I'll post some more photos of my progress over the new few days as I get it painted and installed.
