Thank you for your response. One of the people who responded to my original post recommended that I do just what I have done (search the threads for an answer) to see if I could find what I was looking for. I found this post. Since RDahler did the restoration work on this thread I figured that he would be the one to address my question to, and you responded telling me to go back to my original post. You have not done this restoration or you would have given me an answer. Still, I am in the process of trying to follow up with the lead you gave me. I hope RDahler responds. Thank you.

Excellent work all around.

Looking great...picture of the new interior? That bottle of Jeffersons Oceans sure is dusty

You need some small LED lights inside the pod for a nice illumination if / when you open the dash. That is too good to leave in the dark....:-)

Coming together very nicely.

Got a lot done today Dash pod installed Big T Helm and steering cable hooked up added a 3.0 charging two port USB outlet in the glove box.

I didn't see in your restoration/rebuild if you retreated your dash. My dash has heat damage at the top and the black covering is flaking off. Any suggestions on what i can coat this with to restore it?

Doesn't get any better. Thanks for sharing and showing. That is nice to say the least.

Best.

I have completed the dash cover rework. I V cut all the cracks in the plastic on the back side and bonded the new aluminum panel to the back side with JB weld. I had to install the sub panel and radio cover to hold everything in place wile the adhesive setup.The two damaged corner nutserts were repaired using the same process and installing two triangular aluminum back plates and two new nutserts were installed before the adhesive setup. This was a difficult repair because it was so broken up. I think we are good for the next 25 years.

I am working on the dash instrument pod the nut plates most of them were spinning in the plastic of broken all the way out. this is a common problem with this dash. My solution is to fabricate a aluminum back bone with new nut plates to tighten every thing back up.

A nice touch. I was thinking about how you were going to secure the corners on the front panel.

Looks great and the perfect opportunity for the upgrade considering your shop.

I am waiting to see what you may custom fabricate for the five screws on the top part.

Wow! I love it! So jealous of the time you have been able to put into this restoration.
