How tight will it be to reach the 3 back plugs?

Original dash was cracked pretty bad so I got tommy to fiberglass it up and work his magic then I primed and used truck bed spray can on it. The racepack dash fits in the original pretty well.
Made both door panels and added a small compartment to each for air gauge and such

I had to clean up under the hood area, a real mess, so I decided to sandblast it. Of course i warped the thin sheet metal like aluminum foil. Oh well, glad the scoop is as big as it is. Just more bondo…

Whew. That looks like a lot of body work! Great job.

Thanks
I’m just glad it was a small car!!!
Every single panel had issues not from just what I did with it, but the way the car had been over the years. I counted seven layers of paint, I took everything down to bare metal and started over.

LoL,
I was watching the Spring Fling on YouTube on my TV and Attention in The Pits came on. It's set on autoplay and watching you & Joe as I type!

"I'll switch the stereo on because that's more important "! LoL😅
