Finished up the dash yesterday, ended up being in pretty good shape. Installed all the goodies on my previously bare wiper shafts today. Only had 1/8th in. of space between the body and wiper arm on the driver's side, and that's AFTER removing the inner nut (just running a washer underneath). Not sure what's up with that, but it's all sealed up and it works now.
As I was finishing up in there, I gave a tug on the junky piece of wood which used to be molecularly bonded to my gastank. BEHOLD:
Four years of humid foresty weather finally took their toll on the glue, and I finally ripped it loose. Once I remove the white fender beading and neons, my car will finally be showcar mod free!
