Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Dash Frame
Major Repair Work Today
As soon as it warms up in 2 hours I will go out to thecar
and get my 1/4" rachet set. I will be installing the crash pad on the dash
frame so I can cut the 3/4"X3/4" square plexiglass bar I bought yesterdayand
make the re-enforcement to be glued under the top of the dash to eliminate the
slight warp on both sides. I just have to make sure it does not interferewith
any mouting bolts from the crash pad or the glove box on one side and the
inst. panel on the other side. I figure it will take about 8 hours between
today and tomorrow to do this then I can sand the whole frame and prep itfor
paint. That mid April installation date is comeing up soon so I got to get my
fat old butt in gear. I'll be so glad when this phase of the interior project
is done. It is burning me out. The only other real pain job in the interior is
going to be takeing out the headliner and all the rest of the plastic molding
dyeing it. Everything else is a piece of cake. I still need to find a setof
bucket seats. The door panels and the rear hatch panels upolstery is a piece
of cake as I made the ones for the other car so I now what to do and whatnot
do to make them I am going to buy a complete set of carpet which includesthe
formed pieces that cover the rear wheel wells. And then install the mint black
seat I have from the yellow car. I figure the complete interior should be
completed by the end of june, provideing that I find the bucket seats I need
and get my court case money by then.
