So I'm deep into re assembling my car and have been working on the interior. . spent dozen of hours doing a 'perfect' job on the dash. . . being very careful to make everything like new. . . So I've got the basket weave dash in, the dash top and the lower dash pad installed, all the gages and dash controlls, the steering column is completed, all electrices tested and the glove box done, so what did I leave to last ?? the smallest part- the ash tray assembly. . . . Do you know where this is going and you've been there before ?? Will you admit it ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Well , this is when I notice that the ash tray base has 3 mounting bolts. . one in the back- no problem but then I look and see the holes for the 2 side bolts are now under the top dash pad. . . and everything has to come back out to remove it to install the base properly. . . Damn. . !! time to have a beer and think about this. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |
