The original dashboard for my MGB was a disaster. The upholstery material was cracked and both ends of the metal frame were compromised by rust. 
I removed the vinyl cover and foam pad. John applied fiberglass to the metal dash frame to form a smooth surface. I am trying to decide whether I want a painted finish or a vinyl covering.
We are converting the radio console, which mounts below the dash, to a switch panel. The original shifter console will be attached to the transmission tunnel.
Urethane primer has been applied to the hood and the finish coat of "hotrod black" as been applied to the underside. The latch assembly has been fitted as well as the release cable. The hood will be permanently installed soon.
