'70 Duster Revival: Drag Racing Heart | Pro Touring Soul

At this point in the build I was dabbling in a little bit of everything. We were beginning the process of wiring the car. The front buckets, rear bench, and dash pad were sent out to be reupholstered. The smaller interior and exterior items were being blasted, primed and painted. Brake lines and fuel lines were in the process of being mapped out. The instrument panel, radio bezel and glove box door were shipped for refurbishing. It's funny that for how much progress was being made the list of items for things to do was still growing.

If I learned one lesson in this entire build - its work on 1 task at a time and finish it before starting another. Some days, I'd overwhelm myself with how much needed to get done! Never the less, we were checking tasks off and it felt great.

One of the projects I took on while waiting for a parts order was restoring the dash. The original dash was disassembled, hardware labeled and stored in baggies and then the paint and primer was removed with a wire wheel and sandpaper. Once down to bare metal the dash was cleaned, re-primed and then sprayed with gloss black.
