Yes, I built the stand at work. I just made two "T's" and cut some angle braces for each one. I held the pieces together with metal truss plates. It cost about $12 in matierals. I disassembled the dash upside down on a bench. I reassembled 95% of it on a bench too. I mounted the frame to the stand in order to sand and paint it.
It's nicer to just set the assembly on some old blankets on a bench to tell you the truth. I had most of the dash assembled before I got my speakers back from being re-coned. Idealy, I would have installed the speaker first and then fliped the pad over to start reassembling everything else. The stand isn't really needed IMO.
Thanks for all of the help. I have the dash assembly completely taken apart, I am going to have to replace most of the lower dash plastic along with the AC/Heater control and the woodgrain panels. I did discover that my gauges are in perfect shape. And yes the mileage shown is correct. The car was oinly used on the weekends and I parked her in 1977.
I spoke to the gentleman at perfomance car graphics and he recommended that I not use the decals since they have a tendacy to peel off if it too hot. Is that true or was he just trying to increase his sales?
