    Marshall: The dyed interior parts are holding up very well. SEM were the products I used. I did all the parts at once in the garage, during the winter. Cleaned all the parts with hot soap and water. Did this about 5 times. Letting them all dry very well. Then I used all the SEM products. There final step cleaner, and their sand fill. (Kinda like a primer) Again I did all the parts at once. Had the heat turned up high in the shop to help soften and dry once dyed. This really helped out a lot on the adhesion of the dye. Hope that helps you!

    PS: Thanks for all the GREAT comments!

    I know.. I am really a high performance but stock looking guy, but I need and want this to look factory built! As that is my 100% goal.

    That's a really nice Aspen kind of makes me miss the hearse ( black on black mild custom 77 Volare' wagon) that I had in the 90's.
