[BaadAssGremlins] Some Small Progress Yesterday

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Well the gauge panel fits. It sure looks nice with the factory water
temp, gas gauge and speedo needles painted the day glow orange to match
the tac's needle. I did not go in without a fight but fits nice. You
have to imagine trying to fit 30+ year old plastic parts from 4-5
different cars together. Each though looking like new has its own little
slight warp or twist in it that is invisible until you put them all
together and then they become apparent. Such is my case and you all know
what a pain I am about fit and detail. I had to elongate the bolt hole
in the hand brake bracket that bolts to the metal part of the dash frame
and also shim it. To force the bolt in and tighten it cause the dash
frame to warp and the gauge panel would not fit properly. It also
probably would have made the dash crack from stress some where from
driving the car. One more little tweak done. Today I will wire the tack
up and paint the package tray brackets. The last piece of the dash to
install is the package tray with the factory gauge pod. I am actually
closing on completion of this interior job after almost 8 months actual
work and 2 years of chasing replacement part for the ones I could not
repair and making new ones. Now if I could only get the upholstery guy
to do the !@#$%^& 2 bucket seats.
