Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Really diggin those headlights ! Nice work fitting them in. I've read in a couple threads about a glare on the windshield from the dash being gloss instead of satin finish. My chevelle had a gloss dash,and no glare problem. I was wondering if you had any info about this? My truck dash is gloss. I hope we don't get blinded while driving.

I haven't noticed any problems with mine and I don't even have a dash pad.

Speaking from experience- the gloss dash sux. Chrome defrost vents are also a bad idea...

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

I don't like it! I really think you could a much better job. Just drop it off here at my place, take mine and don't screw it up this time!

Just kidding! It took me 2 days to skim through this thread and it is a true work of art! My father in law just gave me this 69 in the pic and I can't wait to get started!
Btw I sell cars too so that makes this build that much sweeter! Keep it up!
