Thanks! It's coming along. I did notice a little bit of gap between the radio and A/C controls and the radio cover. I'll do the same I did with the upper gauges - just create a spacer / washer to push both units out a little further to close up the gap. The sanding has become frustrating. I was hoping to be further along than I am.
I do have an extra center console sitting around. I'm tempted to see if I can copy the 89 prototype version
As I mentioned before - I'm about 95% sure I'll be creating the dash cluster as well!

So I got into my yesterday after a tough day at work when 3 teens riding their bikes approached the car. All the 3 of them stopped and said "whoa... cool car...".
Yesterday was a great day.

Minor Updates:
I spent the morning at a local service shop where they wanted almost 900 bucks to replace the axles and the rear wheel bearings - over the last few weeks the clanking and grinding has been getting really loud. They were going to charge me 220 per wheel bearing - not including labor. ummmm... yeah...
So, I went to the local auto parts store and bought the parts I needed for 370 bucks. After chatting with a good friend of mine at the parts store, she suggested I give a buddy of hers a call. I did and drove by his shop. He'll do the work for 250 bucks. SWEET!
In the meantime. I pulled the center console out and removed the armrest / cup holder. I noticed some air bubbles forming so I decided to sand down the armrest and repaint - I'm actually going to give it a little flair. I'm thinking rainbows and lighting bolts. I have NO IDEA what's going on but the primer will not properly adhere to the fiberglass without cracking. I've done everything I know how to clean the surface of the fiberglass. I beginning to suspect it's the primer.
Bubble
Other areas in question
Sanded down and laying primer
WHAT THE HECK!!!??? It did this 4 times
That's it for today. I'm frustrated and it's starting to rain. I'll pick up tomorrow and try to get these pieces finished including the radio cover - that piece is beginning to aggrevate me! LOL
