Looking good. Did you get your dash paint from that company in Cla. It is not cheap but the right paint. Some of the paint can be gotten from for paint.com.

That's a great, rich color.
And the best thing for me is .....no vinyl top.

What paint did you use on the dash?
My dash frame gave me fits.
Bent and rusty.
(Someone pried open the glove box.)
My research revealed they were lacquer paint.
And the only people that had any of the discontinued product was Instrument Specialties.
Expensive and sold by the pint?
I used PPG "Hot Rod Black" and was pretty happy with the results.
Not exactly correct buy fine for my use.
I'm just going to use epoxy appliance black for the doors and quarter trim.

Looks like you patched in the floor.
I just did that.
Of course AMD didn't have the 3/4 section till after I had painted the back half and had the head liner in.
So I had to be careful.

I didn't even bother with my fenders.
Mine are straight but just to rusty to spend time on.
I'm running out of time.
AMD replacements will work instead.

In my limited experience with the windshield install on a B body, don't put the trim on till you leak check the windshield.
Took me 3 times on a first gen Charger.
Gaskets were a poor fit among other issues.

Did you put calking in the gasket where the window fits. My glass guy said the glass fit tight enough that it would not leak. Yea right. Had to go back and use plastic tools and open up and put calk in around the glass at bottom and up the A pillar area. Where the glass was in the gasket. I think you cannot put enough calk when installing it. Just have to clean up the mess.
