Got my dash painted and guages back in
Well i hit it pretty hard today and last night. I put a anitrattle kit in the windows, all door weather stripping and felt, and rebuilt the running assmy for the window rollers. I should have gotten new vent window rubber, but alas another day. *i'll get some pics tonight*
But my big acomplishment today was getting the dash painted and reassembly started. A few weeks ago i repained the guages and vent housings. THey look good in my opinion. THe steering colum was on the list today also.. I"m tring to go with a black/white interior. I havn't glued the carpet down just yet incase i need to do any major work, then i can still get it out. It all turned out pretty damn good for a rattle can job. Home Depot had a $.99 special on all purpose shiney white. $6 worth did the trick. BUt i had to sand like a monster for about 4 hours this morning. If i decide to actually gun paint the inside, this will at least be a good primer. LOL.... Have gander at me screwing this truck up.. lol

Looks nice! Where did that steering wheel originate? It looks similar to my chevy wheel, yet different.

Re: Got my dash painted and guages back in
The blue was 2.99 a can. Thats too rich for my blood. LOL
The steering wheel is out of a 95 or 96 chevy truck. It looks way too bulky for that steering column, but i'll hold on to for a bit longer.

Re: Got my dash painted and guages back in
I just installed an S-10 leather steering wheel that looks similar. Excellent add-on.
And no need to be embarrassed by the type of paint you use. Krylon is great as long as the part will not see extensive direct sunlight. A suggestion for others and the future is to have a local paint shop mix an aerosol to match your truck color. Do all your primer and touch up with Krylon and then spray the finish with correct color. I am doing this now as I clean up the '71. Works great for interior and under hood parts.
