15 month restoration of my fathers 70 convertible that he had for about 30 years. Not perfect, but a solid driver. Complete frame off, everything has been gone through.

Congrats on your project. Now drive it every day! I still have the dash pad on my '70 vert. It's starting to crack in multiple places. Maybe I'll just remove it. Your's looks good that way.
