Sorry I never really published an article.
Here's what I see wrong with this article, unless they're charging the customer by the hour....
1) Why remove the pad from the frame in the car, then remove the frame ?
2) Why re-install the frame/pad in the car then re-assembly the rest of the dash in the car ?
I've done about 20 E Body dash pads recently. The trick is to remove the dash assembly as a whole, restore it, then re-install it as a whole.
