QUOTE(Dion @ Jul 21 2022, 05:58 AM)  Nicely done as usual Pedro. Coming along so well. How did you get the front turn signal buckets to shine so well? They look new! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Hi Dion, I cleaned them with Bartenders Friend first and then put them in water with chlorine to get them a brighter white. There were some spots were I used some 600 grit sand paper to remove them but that was about all I did. |

And thanks to Ian for making this video that made installation much easier:

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm glad a made that call also after all the crap I found inside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Jumping to the dash that was all crusty and dirty. Found out I had not ordered the vinyl and the foam for it so I placed my order for those parts from 914 rubber today.  Cleaned up looking much better   |

The dash material was still in very good shape, I just cleaned it with some soap and water and it looked great. Using contact cement to glue it down.

Took the time to add some black to where the air vents come out.
 Double sided tape for the chrome molding on the knee pad   |

That is as far as I was able to get on the dash until my parts order from 914 rubber shows up. I did get to work on other small detail parts for the dash though.
Soaked the glove box with water and then put a clamp on it out in the sun to get it back into shape.  Took the cigarette lighter apart to clean it up.   Knee pad cleaned up also, luckily this was also in very good shape. Just used soap and water, I will treat it with a protectant prior to installation.  |

Oh wow! I somehow missed a whole year of your build. What a treat to catch up. Last time I checked, you had a diamond in the rough, and now, FABULOUS!
And I have to say, only real mean take their cigar lighters apart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I'm happy to report that the glove box is no longer crooked. Leaving it overnight to dry while clamped did the job. Now I need to get some flock because the inside is still nasty from all the rat piss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
