Waiting on engine parts to return, so Im working on other options.
I removed stripped, cleaned, painted and rebuilt the brake calipers.
Also, I have needed to recover the dash for a while.
The Texas heat has dried and shrank the leather on the dash, which peeled up the corner edges of the dash pad and warped it.
So I removed it, and it needs to be recovered, but it isnt straight.
Im not sure how to straighten it, so this is where I landed.
I mixed a 50/50 mixture of water based wood glue (Elmers or Liquid nails) and water.
I drew it up into a BBQ injecting needle and syringe left over from Thanksgiving.
I injected the mixture into the warped areas of the dash pad.
Then I heated the area with a heat gun and clamped the area with braces and clamps and left it to dry. The water helped to spread the 'glue' into a wider area, the heat moved it around a little more and activated the drying process as well as aiding in the softening of the pad to allow for shaping.
