            The paint is peeling due to the engine fire. The last pics were the damage. Is currently getting an m52b28 obd2 swap. Ill post more info on the dash for sure.

                Dash repair looks good.

                Not a fan of the two tone paint job, smoked tail lights or xxrs...

                  Definitely some nice work there. Not exactly my taste, but everything looks like it was well done, especially considering how much body work that thing required! Really sucks about the engine fire :( At least it wasn't a total loss after all that work. Hoods and engines are easily replaced.

                  I'd like to know more about the dash repair and finish.
