Well Davis I am going to try again this morning to make them parts fit.
Nothing like a fresh start and a clear mind.

Doc,
That is for sure. Sometimes I just can't get a part together and I get so fustrated. I leave it and the next day I caome in and it suddenly goes easy.
Bill was over yesterday to make sure I finished the forward struts on the roll bar. He said boy do you have patience. He was watching me fit the bars. It took quite a while of grinding cuting and trial fitting and more of the same but when it was welded up it was just right.

Having to almost completely take out the dash because of the bulb socket
caught in the frame was my own stupid fault and took a lot of time so I
was tired by the time I started the next 2 things and when they didn't
fit frustration set in. I knew it was time to quit for the day, go home
rest up and start fresh monday. Things change from day to day and the
last thing you need to do is mess up an old plastic part that is hard to
repair or find another one. Been there done that, old age has made me
smarter but frustration still sets in. My son is like me when I was
young and has no patience, I am trying to teach him some.

Doc,
Nothing is EVER easy when it comes to working on our cars. The center section was a royal pain to get in on my 74 hornet dash in the 70 gremlin. Seemd like the opening got smaller for some reason. It did go but took some force and scrapped dome of the black dye off the dash. I will have to touch up a fer spots now.

I thought I was in the stretch on this interior job, nothing to do but
put in the dash and add some new wiring for the new gauges, neaten up
some wiring and trouble shoot a few small problems and be done. The dash
was a real pain to install to start with. Now I find that when I
installed it I caught the bulb and socket for the wiper and headlight
switch between the dash frame and the steering column bracket. Now I
have to almost completely remove the dash to get the bulb and socket
free. The plastic cap that covers the lower part of the steering column
rubs and has to be massaged to fit for proper clearance. And last but
not least the dash center section does not fit for some reason. 4 hours
spent working and nothing accomplished. I called it a day as my brain
was becoming fried and I couldn't think clearly any
more.
