Respect for the work, but not a fan.

Why didn't you just get headers?

looks fine dude, as always on here your going to get opposition... Personally I dont think decals belong, but the rest look good..

Later down the road when i get some experiance i wanna mold a new dash with fiberglass. This was my first project doing what i did to my car, it took awile to get the painting down and the finish i wanted but i practiced enough to get it perfected and thats how my results were, flawless.

Well as long as it works! Fiberglass is def a better way, I forsee that way cracking eventually. But if it doesn't, even better!

thanks fellas for the feed back,
yea taking decals off when i finally go for paint, as for headers, havent found any for this motor, i seen a set that somebody was making on this site awile back, but cant find post.
im not to worried about the cracking on dash cause there is enough flex in paint to prevent that from happening. only thing im really worried about is when it get hot inside that the paint's gonna bubble up, but it hasnt happend yet and its reached over 90 some days. but you never know. but yea i want to fiberglass it, was actually thinking of buying just a dash for an alero, and practice molding a dash. would rather do it myself to get experiance in it like i did with the interior painting. it keeps me busy its fun, and it saves money.

good luck, I remember learning to use glass, I never want to touch it again..but I assume it would be a good little project

Welcome to the site, respect for putting a lot of work into your car to making it your car. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Glass is great minus the sanding and the cutting... those are so dusty and itchy it's terrible. The layup is always cool though.

[pimpalero2003]

Thought you had to use special paint for leather/vinyl? Otherwise stayed sticky/cracked peeled off
