new dash sanded and painted pics
 
Hey every1 i have been working hard on a dash for my 95 & wanted to share
So i found one a a junk yard got it out and started sanding and sanding and sanding on it. This took a wile to get it all smoth but all the texture is now gone :D I decided to go with house of kolor "Bittersweet pearl" & the factory black on my truck but before i sent it to the paint shop i got a new set of power acoustik tweeters and flush mounted them in the top of the dash. Its not in my truck yet i plan on doing that 2morro but here are some pix so far... What do yall think?

Beautiful job man.... I wonder though, how much glare you're going to get on the inside of the windshield once the sun hits it?
