Vanny if you have a tap it doesn't hurt to run it up all those holes before you bolt it up. kocks out the lose dirt and cleanns up the threds. thats what i try to do. takes 5 extra minutes.

Re: Vanny's Diamond in the Ruff!
Seth, yes it is. I found a guy named Joel who does fiberglass batches of them. $175 plus shipping. Cheaper than the ones I've seen on Feebay. He fills in the holes because people mount them different ways but he marks them so you can see where the holes were. He also leaves a little extra on the top part where it meets the dash so that you can sand or trim it to fit snugly against the dash just in case the dash is not perfectly straight. I had one in my secnnd Econoline and loved the way it hid the underdash stuff and there ain't many early Econolines anywhere close to here, especially ones that would have dashskirts in them. If anyone would like his info, you can just PM me and I'd be happy to share it.

Re: Vanny's Diamond in the Ruff!
Haven't posted anything in a long time because life has been getting in the way but have been trying to get some little things done lately so that I can feel like it's not being ignored. I know it's not like the work you other guys have been doing but at least it's a small step in the right direction. I'm NOT giving up on this dream!
I sent my glovebox door to BackToTheWoods (Bill Rowe) to have him paint a Rat Fink on it and it turned out Fantastic!!! Can't wait to get it reinstalled.
