The dash finish on the 78' Camino looks awesome, considering you're fixed with a ultra low budget. 👍

Impressed 😅 Trying to get the t-shirt with been there, done that and got that t-shirt! 6 dgr celcius outside and dark. But ”She” Volvo PV-64 will run good before the winter season comes. Just around the corner. Don’t say you have it easier, but warmer weather 😊 Expecting 2-3 dgr celcius the comming weekend, but sun ! Geting there! Great work, mean it ! 👍😎
Looks a lot better than it did

The '78 dash restauration looks very well done judging by what can be seen in the video. No defects can be noticed, it's a pleasure to see. The black one turned out good. The new cromed moldings on the '78 door panels look also good.

Lee,the dash pad on the 78 turned out great in my opinion,did the dash pad in my 87 ranger the same way,was way worse than yours,of course I removed the dash pad and repaired it, I learned that you will never get them perfect, but for what it looked like before it turned out really good, just like yours did, you do awesome work and do it all on a budget!! Thanks for taking us on the journey 👍

Fantastic job Lee! The dash repair looks amazing. I had to add one of those dash covers on my 78 Monte Carlo and I found that using a heat gun will help relax those lower areas and the areas around the glove box and radio instead of screws then I just added the silicone behind it and it has been holding for 5 years now. Great work as always, looking forward to the next videos!
Man, that is NIGHT and DAY difference!! I think I'm gonna go this route with my Caddy.
This doesn't look half bad on the TV . I don't think putting a lot more time into is worth it for the sale of this car. Nice job.

After screwing the dash cover down, run a heat gun on low settings around the cover to relax it so it won't stress crack later. Don't get too close and melt it though. Concentrate on the corners around the instruments.
nice work look,s great👍

Fantastic job on both the dash repair and the cover install. Truly a professional grade repair on the white SS. Hopefully this video will go viral like your Nova dash repair bc you deserve it. I did notice the trim was installed as well on the white SS door panels. New or repaired? Hmm, i guess ill just have to find out next video. Enjoy the weather coming later this week; supposed to drop down to the mid 70's. It's about time.

Those pinholes are called micro-popping it's a chemical reaction from the different paint products.
damn nice
Maybe a little spotpuddy for those pin holes and minor defects on dash
Looks good give me an idea on 98 Chevy
Lee I wonder if that hole that was in the corner of the bed that drains into the Smugglers box was actually for the CB antenna wire to go through?

The truck bed liner bubbled later. What could have been used instead?
Sem makes vinyl texture paint.
78 is a A body i think at least thats what i was told
Does the truck bed coating brings back the natural look in the dash
I just saw a 1985 iroc.z get a new.dash cover n you can order one for your red iroc z not a cover you glue i mean a real black dash
@clunkersandclassics

probably expensive. I just got in a cap I'll glue on
Yeah those things don't fit perfectly but they look better than doing nothing
Did you put the screws in the top vents of the cap like the original dash is?
Have you decided if you are going back white and gold on the SS keep it OG??
@clunkersandclassics

white and gold
The newer GM dashes are really crap as is Mopar I have a 01 F150 that has no cracks and I live in Florida and it gets hot here also..
Do you know all the interior color names or paint codes? I have a dark or navy blue 1980 El Camino interior and I want to fix it up. Any information would be appreciated.

I don't know why you're worried about the kind of key sex when the SS is worth more money I would have just done it in black & white like the same car and fixed up the conquest that with the big seat and sold it
heat gun
As great as you have the interior looking in that 78. Man I think I would splurge for that dash cover. Don't freak out just my opinion 🫣
