Car work Easter week end

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

You were ambitious, love the Jet Flame decal!

Lets see, in the way of old cars I helped push 65Camino's 70 Mustang deep into his driveway (we took tranny out 2 weeks ago) made room for Astro Jet's LT-1 Camaro, changed some door actuators in GMC, Started LeMans and drove it, got battery from my warehouse so 65Camino could have it and start the El Camino, messed around with 48 Dodge, it ran good. Went to Parts Source to pick up oil, went to Canadian tire to pick up contact cleaner. Might have forgot something but that was a lot of time with cars. Managed to go to Church and treat family to Easter brunch too.

On Saturday afternoon I changed the dash pad to a not so perfect, but better than what i had one. No big crack in the middle of it. I should have changed another trim panel where the rear defog and wiper buttons are, but i'll have to take it all apart another day.

dash pads are not fun!! i remember when i was takeing mine out of the 79 ta i cracked it even more and by the time i was done i just ripped it out!!! It was also 2 in the morning and i was going to replace it anyways, and i think in the back of my head i knew i was getting rid of the car anyways, it already beat me!!

Luckily the dash pads on this generation are pretty flat and easy to take out but i did screw up the speaker grills. They sit on ok but i'm sure they're loose, i know i broke some tabs. But looking at it you can't tell and if you don't try to move them i think they'll stay.
