There IS nothing he can't do. Hence the nickname. Give him a job to do and "BAM" it's done! Lol

Hey Bam, I don't know if you've seen my thread lately but I'm replacing my dash with a '55-'56 car dashboard like you have done. I looked at your thread for details but didn't see much. I'm wondering if you have any in-process pictures?

Also wondering if it's as easy as it would SEEM to be?
1. Locate the spot welds and drill out.
2. Pry dash loose carefully
3. Center new one in the space.
4. Rosette weld it in place?

Are there any "hidden" welds that could help this go easier? Other considerations i haven't thought of yet? Any/all help or advice is appreciated. - Dan
