Berry,
re: your awful dash, I just got my custom made dash (took close to ten
weeks) from Prestige Autowood in Campbell. Very nice work and a showcar look
that can't be beat. Contact Randy @ 408-370-3705. I have no financial gain at
stake here, just proud of my dash...Had it made of Hawaiian Koa, makes my wife
homesick just gettin in the car.

Hey, it's not a problem -- it's an opportunity to install headers (here I go
spendin' yer money again)

It gets better -- you are resurrecting a long neglected 25 year old (or so)
car. It's been my experience that once I fix something it stays fixed...
eventually you run out of things to fix. (No, I haven't run out yet, but I'm
down to things like the bonnet support studs, and the tach hunts, and there's
a missing snap on the hood... and that awful dash.)

I *like* it!
