Drywall screws!
Oh wait, thats what the guy did to my car before I got it!

I would like to know how this works out for you.
If I am lucky enough to keep my car through my pending divorce then I also have a dash to do.

I finally had time to work on the dash again and thanks to Scott I am almost finished. His foto instruction guide helped me alot. I need to do a little more twicking on it tomorrow to finally finish it but its alot better now. My camera is not all that so sorry for the quality but atleast you will be able to see the dash installed. Thanks again Scott for the great tips!!!
