Finally unblocked...
I've been putting this off for about 3-4 months now I'm sure. The repro dash pad was the wrong color (it's light blue like the door panels, should be dark blue like the dash - and the original was). And I dropped an AC vent and found an NOS defrost vent in brown, so had to do another batch of interior painting.
I'm not a painter. And it's really time-consuming: 1) The clean/scrub pass with a special treated sponge 2) The adhesion promoter strep 3) DP90LF light coat 4) DP90LF wet coat 5) Clean gun 6) DBI Dk Blu Poly light coat 7) DBI Dk Blu Poly medium coat 8) Clean gun 9) DCU 2060 Flexed'n'Flat eggshell clear light coat 10) clear medium coat 11) Clean gun 12) Change water filter on air supply (should have been 1, oops) I was worried I'd lose the grain with that many coats, because you can technically skip the primer (I think) but it turned out not to be an issue. But it turned out nice. Now I can get to work. I've got the dash to go back in, the new tilt column, and the seats.
