Thanks Glen, a 20 ss might be kind of hard to find, haven't seen to many of them, but I'll keep an eye out for sure.

Hey Glen, did they even make a 20 ss, I don't ever recall seeing one, usually jumps from 18 to 22

Fabricating my dashes, cut out aluminum, bent right and left wraparound, cut out openings steering wheel, toggle switches, sterio and glove box, glued foam carpet under lay to aluminum, glue vinyl to underlay, going to let it dry overnight then use contact cement to wrap vinyl around back of aluminum need to be able to have instant adhesion.

R U Married? Reason I ask is...I noticed you're working on the Kitchen table with contact cement. If I did that, My wife would Jerk me Bald Headed, kick my rear end so hard I could wear it for a Hat, and I'd be sleeping in the Garage for a month!!!!!:eek:

Hi Wood no I'm not married, I'm not working with contact cement yet, going to use it to wrap the vinyl around to the back of the aluminum but I'll do that in my garage or outside weather permitting.
