yep its that time of the year, swapping the interior out of my 89 GT vert from grey to all black, along the way im swapping heater cores out, and hiding wires up front while my engine is out again for another great rebuild,, G-damn rings and lean issues on my newly built 347, oh well all going into a Dart Iron Eagle not that crappy sportman either,, haha here are some pics, i guess i could take some more and make a sticky outta the interior swap, dash removal, and wire hiding, check these out! pulled fenders and front bumper off all at once, very easy to do!

Sounds good. Honestly, I would hide all the wiring once the motor is in though, you dont want bunched up hidden wires getting in the way of parts when you go to put it back together, just my .02. Also, nice pics for the dash. They are going to help me out alot, I have my dash out now in my 88 GT and I have no clue how to put it back together. I took it apart wasted like over a year ago and forgot lol Lookin Good!

that dash would look nice painted.

there is a product that you spray called paint bonding adhesive, that will bond to the plastic and then you paint onto it.

Our body shop uses that on interior all the time

whenever installing a dash, and i know im not around everyday, I keep all bolts with their components, in order I took them out on a bright white towel and a notepad and pen, wiring harnesses are marked with blue tape , of what and where.

Only adds a few minutes to your time and well worth it

yeah i kept all the bolts together, i have another all black dash im puttin in and i transferred most of the parts to it already and the bolts so i know where they all go when i put it back in,,, damn car has been a year in the making in march, it has been a fun year and a helluva learning experience but will be worth it for sure, i loved it when it was running for the 4 mths it was till i jerked it back out cant beat 373RWHP hahaha, will be fun over 600+ with the turbo

Yea, I know thats what I should have done but I didnt.... I think the dash was the only thing I never labeled... and figures its the only thing I took apart that I cannot get back together!
