Hi All,
Yesterday we installed the dash. Most of the issues were with the defroster ducts, but I think we have them figured out. Wayne was a madman with the pneumatic saws-all. He has things roughed in. He will be doing some fine tuning today while I continue with the interior.
Damn, am I sore today? Being bent up like a pretzel on the steel floor pans has really taken its toll. Also, my hands and arms are bruised and cut from all the contortions required to get the wiring installed under the dash. I really shouldn't complain. Wayne really has the tougher row-to-hoe. All of the filling, sanding, filling, sanding, filling and sanding really takes its toll after a while.
I just need to find a quality interior shop in the Chicago area. There are a number of shops in the area, but I want a shop that is capable of doing invisible dash modifications. And while the shops I know do good leather and upholstery work, they have no experience with the type of mods I am looking for.
It is now time to drag my tired old bones out to the shop.
