November starts with Rebuilding the dash and brake pedal.
Front Dash cleaned up very nicely. One of the lenses was replaced from Hughs stock, but everything was cleaned, restored and installed from what came out of the car originally
This is pic from fresh rescue from Arizona desert for comparison to final product all cleaned up above.

Not much difference to see, but installed new front rotors and dust cap covers on the hubs. Hung all of the LED lights, and then proceeded to clean out the garage. Took out Big Red and pressure washed her to get the last of the Arizona Sand out.
