Somebodu stole your dash, steering wheel and seats.

Did you file a police report for the vandalism? Maybe your insurance will cover it.

I know your pain all too well Roger, see the pics of my '81 below. Keep up the good work and try to stay cool out there, it will all pay off in the end. We look forward to seeing the end result.

I've taken apart many dash's. But I must say the C-3 is one of the worst. Not for the electrical, but you have the vacum lines to contend to.!

What did you spray the interior shell with? Assuming it's for sound/heat, I'm right at that stage now and am trying to decide what to use.

I hear ya on the 103 degrees. My outdoor thermometer stayed pegged at 115 for a couple weeks this summer. Needless to say I didn't work my hardest then. Stay after it and you will be done in no time. 10 minutes a day yields 2.5 times more results than all day once a year.
