Re: [Amc-list] 1970 Javelin/AMX crash pad

Yeah, the glove box door could be changed I suppose.
It would be very noticeable though because there is a simulated wood grain
overlay on the glove box door,
that the gaps would not follow correctly.

through, I would mark where the glove box door is contacting the pad and
with a dremel try to remove as little material as possible to make it work.
Because it will be on the underside and toward the dash you shouldn't notice
it.  But that is where I would start.  It should hurt the dash pad since it
is solid and not an overlay.
