[glow=red,2,300]MOUNTING THE DASH...[/glow] I traced the edge of the dashboard on to the body. By cutting this area out, I will be able to mount the dash about 1/4" forward. Here it is in place!

Whew..... that was close, glad you did not paint it lime green with "Go Daddy" NASCAR livery, the crash possibilities are very high. Another fine build, thanks for sharing.
Cheers Eh!

[glow=red,2,300]GLASS & CHROME!!![/glow] Glueing the windows in was a little tricky. The right side window needed some trimming to fit, the others were a good fit. I used "Formula 560" Canopy Glue for the first time and I am impressed. Formula 560 applies easily, flows very evenly, dries fast and very clear! I cut down the sides of the 16th scale Mustang Grill and glued it in place... A Little More Coming...
