If you are patient maybe you can find a nice matching OEM dash pad?
Good deal, well that should help make this whole thing a little easier haha. I think I am going to take the sample I have to my local paint store and see if they can match it. Patience has never been my thing.

I did get the rear drums pulled off over the weekend, the RR was locked up when I pushed it into the garage so I wanted to make sure it was a brake issue and not the axle. I will be putting new brake shoes on the rear and put all that back together next. Once I have the rear back together I will roll it out into the driveway for a solid day of pressure washing and cleaning everything. Once that is done it will be time for rust repair and reassembly. Sounds easy enough right?
