question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hey, guys:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve got a new Prestige Autowood dashboard for my Tiger
that I hopefully will be installing soon, but I’ve got a question. As
you all know, the original dashes had a small area of the lower rail in front
of the cubby box that was upholstered and intended to be used as a grab
handle. I have an original dashboard that I have carefully removed that
upholstery from, and I’ve also been very careful to remove the rounded piece
of wood that was tacked onto the back of the dash which gave the grab area a
nice contour to fit the hand better. When I removed all of this from the
original dash, I found that the wooden piece was tacked on with two small
nails, while the upholstery was glued into place and tacked down on the end
with a total of five small nails in the bottom of the dash rail. The
last thing in the world that I want to do is to screw up my new dash trying to
transfer this stuff over to it, so if there is anyone who has done this out
there, I would be most interested in reading how they did it. Maybe they
would also have some advice about how to avoid screwing things up, too.

<P class=MsoNormal>The bottom line here is that I can turn wrenches as well as
the next guy, but woodwork is most definitely NOT my forte. Can anyone
either give me some pointers or at least help boost my
confidence???<o:p></o:p></P>
