While I have the windshield out, and easy access to the dash pad, I decided to go ahead and dye it with the Corvette Bright Blue since it was a little faded compared to the armrests. I also shot the rubber cover for the rear view mirror (which had turned kinda green) and re-installed it and the visors with new stainless hardware. MUCH better without rust!

Then came the real work of the day: stripping and smoothing the bedsides and readying them for primer. Lots of repetitions of sanding and filling, but I think I finally have them close. I will wet sand and check for any spots I missed, as it is easier to see imperfections when it's all one color. Hopefully we will see some blue tomorrow
