Dash and trim progress
Finally had a moment to upload some photos of some recent progress.
First, my son and I have been working in our "extra" time to finish the dash assembly, here are some pictures.
First, dash overall. new PG Classics dash pad, new PG Classics radio bezel purchased from Mopar Ed, gauges and heater controls restored with Performance Car Graphics kit, everything else was restored and hand painted by me.

Next, emboldened by Murray's success on his tail light panel, I tried to restore my own. I started over three times before I ended up with the look I was after. Found the "chrome" paint I liked best, painted the black first, then masked off all but the shiny strip with super detail 3m 1/2" wide precision tape.
The 500 emblem I restored, the Charger emblem is new from AMD via Mopar Ed.
Here are some over all pics for effect.
More to come. Stay tuned
