			That ashtray blackout is interesting. I've never seen that before and my car was black interior, but is now gold. Was that blackout on all other colors in '67-68 ? Looks like something I should be doing too.

			Chevrolet didn't want dash colour showing through, especially when the ash tray was in the closed position. I'm sure that would've been done on any car that didn't have a black dash. Lots of cars did this kind of shadowing to help their looks....Joe

			Mitch, yes that ashtray blackout is correct for a non-black interior.

			SMS, related to the interior gloss level, does the dash carrier and steering column get the same semi-gloss finish?  great work, detail and color!

 Yes. This 1968 chart shows the gloss level for the various interior components and what colors go with the trim tag number. The ones I marked happen to be for my 725 interior for the dash top and general interior paint. Also this is the flattening agent I used on the dash face and glove box door. |

			Had dreams of it being in the ground for the next update, however it seemed like a good idea to do the tank, bumper, rocker trim, exhaust hangers and such with it all upside down.  That seems to be working out ok so far.

			Yep, I did that and fuel and brake lines while mine was hanging upside down and sideways. Went a lot better than laying under it later. The fuel line is a little long and will get caught on the upright of the roto, so watch that and you can flex it enough to go around.
