Thanks @willxfs . My mirrors aren't shot, they are just a little gross looking and the surround is busted on the bottom of one of them. I'm going to retain as much dampening/gasket as I can.

My old dash is out. The new dash is two years newer so I'll have the airbag pocket. But it has no cracks in it and the defrost screw holes aren't cracked. Switching as much over as we have from donor parts and then everything is getting hit with medium grey plastic paint. And doesn't everyone keep their steering wheel in the back cargo area? LOL

It's about to go down....well it's not wanting to line up so the guys are going to let it warm up and get the sway in the middle to chill out

Very nice work Dawn! Your amazing!

I vote for the Cherry Black. Today I saw several vehicles in Army Green in Miami Beach. They looked good to me IMHO so maybe it is something to consider. But that is just me.
There’s a square body running around here in desert tan with some chevrons or something. Not sure what it’s supposed to represent but looks darn cool.

I also vote for Cherry Black. It just seems to be a good fit for that body style.

I got my new mirrors yesterday. Damn!!! They are gorgeous. And the foam for insulating and mounting is super thick. They even came in nice dust bags! I have to return the Q-Logic kick panels. They won't work with my MB Quart speakers. But I found a step up ring that will allow me to mount them in the door panels. I'm going to be like @Squirrelsmith and heaping on that Dynamat. It has been raining for days here so no new work on FrankenBetty but hopefully this weekend the dash gets finished. We need to clear up space in the garage. My kid just ordered all of his rearend stuff for his C10 so it looks like a Summit storefront in there!
