I know how you feel- I seems like I do almost everything at least twice
before it's right. I like the saying "Experience is something you get
right after you needed it".

Subject: dash overlay update
Incase any of you are thinking of installing a dash overlay kit don't
make
the same mistake that I made. I took the dash pad out of the car, glued
on
the overlay and tried to reinstall the dash pad with the overlay glued
on.
It didn't fit so I removed the overlay and realized that the overlay was
one
inch deeper than the dash pad. I trimmed the extra inch off, installed
the
dash pad and then installed the overlay over top of the dash pad. In the
process of installing the overlay I realized that the extra inch would
have
fit very nicely between the dash pad and the window seal to help hold
the
overlay in place. I should have tired to install the dash overlay
without
removing the dash. It will do until I find a good dash pad. I get the
feeling that I will know how to restore one of theses cars by the time I
get
this car done.
