> A week late but better than never. I spent 3 hours while watching the NASCAR race repairing the crack in the dash above the steering post. I used the methods and materials decribed in a previous post. I also ground the area where the steering post goes through the dash for more steering column clearance. Since this is a column shift auto car the whole column turns when you put it in gear. I noticed the column rubbing the dash that is in the car now so I figured I'd cure the problem before I installed the rebuilt dash and scratch the freshly painted steering column. I only took off 1/16" with my dremil with a 3/4" barrel drum sanding wheel .I also remove a slight warp in that area also by clamping it and heating it up with a hair dryer. Today I will try to remove 2 slight warped areas in the top of the dash where it meets the windshield. And then it's on to sanding and and finish
> painting. The top section of the dashwill be painted with SEM and then with their semi-gloss clear. The lower sections below the crash pad will be painted with a gloss enamel. All this should take 10 days to two weeks to complete. The package tray just needs to be cleaned up and painted with SEM & cleared along with the kick panels.
