The firewall and dash were supposed to be the last thing to get detailed body wise .
Started sanding and looking for any markings or codes we could find .
The only thing I found were the letters AB on top of the cowl .
After some digging I think the A was for Ash Gold and the B was for Black primer.

The car originally had a Ivy Gold interior that someone changed over to Black at some point.
The seats were recovered but the dash pad was incorrectly recovered in cheap vinyl, as well as the car was missing the hard to find A pillar AND B pillar moldings .
The headliner was the original unit that someone had sprayed Black and the package tray and sail panels were pretty rough.
The kick panels, dash top, glove box and ash tray were still Green.... errr Gold as well .
I thought about going back to Ivy Gold, but they are extremely hard to duplicate with aftermarket parts ,due to so many different colors between parts vendors.
Even the OEM seat covers ,kick panels, dash pad, etc, were all different shades or hues of Gold with some metal pieces even looking Green .
So I decided to leave it Black ,and clean it up some.
My son helped me along the way with prep as well.

Also decided now would be the time to prep firewall as it would be easier for masking off for paint for both dash top and firewall.
I decided to retain the original cowl markings as the letters match the 1st initials of both my son and Mother .
My helper again adding the paint code back to top of firewall as well as the new powerplant code 😎
