Here's a bit of an update:

The filling and sanding of the underside is complete. Here's how it looks after it was cleaned with acetone and then degreaser:


Then it was primed:





It's coming along!

What really amazes me is all the little imperfections that you can see after the initial sealer caot of primer. I thought for sure that there would be very little this time, it was all nice and smooth and I couldn't feel anything. But...



I guess I have a little more work to do.

Nice, I love the 3S dash, it is still so smooth and clean looking, nice for being 15 years old haha

Tusch:

I agree. The Fiero interior is the only bit that seems to really date the car. A "sports car" needs a dash that has more flowing curves and lines IMHO. Th is new dash has those qualities. I plan on making door panels to match the lines and curves of the new dash as well.

Back on Topic:

I did a little more work on the underside today. The glazing putty was applied and sanded down and the hood was prepared for paint:

And then a first light coat of paint was applied.

My experience from the deck lid taught me to expect some more imperfections to show up and so I wasn't too surprised to find a few. A little more work and some additional painting and the underside will be complete.

That dash is going to be beautiful!!! You did it to me again!!!! Now I have to go get one. That is the series 3 dash out of a Dodge Stealth or a Mitsubishi 3000 GT correct?
