So if you didn't strip it then what was done? Just glassed over the original sanded and painted?
Also what drop exactly are you running now?
I heard people talk about the glare too but this is not a daily driver and gawt damn it looks good!

Like I said about the dash...

It takes a lot of time and patience to get it smooth. It didn't always come out great looking after the first time it was primed, or the second or the third... I mean we played with it and filled in spots and sanded until it was ready to paint. Don't expect to get it perfect in a day.

All I did in the rear was swap a Ford 9" on top of the leaf springs, took out the overload springs, put on some traction bars and welded up some new shock mounts. This setup came directly out of my 72 Nova. It has a Strange spool w/ 4.11 gears. In essence... it's a "flip kit". I'm fixing to lower the front 4" and slap my new wheels/tires on (12" wide wheels on the rear)
