I see your pic attach trick works on the main board as well. Very cool.
Can you post step by step?

Brings back a lot of memories! Had a buddy in HS with one, you can always take the 'Dy' off the Dynasty emblem like he did, then it was just 'nasty'...ha!

1970 Chevy Impala was the first of many cars for me!
I'll never forget giving the ol' 350 a tune-up with my brothers and just loving how great the change was in performance. My best bud was in the car shortly after and I was explaining to him all that we'd done....pushed the pedal to the metal to show it off and it sputtered...I was out of gas!
Good times!!
I am sure you'll have lots of memories as well! Congrats!

Looks nice and clean. Congrats.
My first one was a '76 Chevy Blazer. There was so much room under the hood that I could just sit on a wheelwell and do a tune-up or rebuild the carborator!

72 Vega GT. Used. Abused. Rust Bucket. Crop duster.
I used to go to the gas station and say "fill up the oil, and check the gas".
I don't miss it a bit...Somehow it made Car Of The Year in 72...but not when I got it for free from my sister! Very tired...
I did learn how to drive a stick in it, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

First car was a 1978 nova 2 dr with the straight 6..... Who says you need oil!!! Ran it out several times, just add more and keep going! Today you can't leave the gas cap off without throwing a code... Don't ask how I know that!!

1986 Saab 900S, thought I was living in the lap of luxury...until I tried to change the oil. Turns out none of us knew how a Saab works, so we drained the wrong oil and never figured it out. It ended up being the differential oil, and the diff. seized up not too long after that. Didn't know a thing about cars, bought a Haynes manual, read it cover to cover, pulled the engine and replaced the trans...been hooked on cars ever since then.
(not my car, just an example)

Just a quick question but I am planing on replacing my dashboard because the pad is warped and came unglued near the defroster vents and I was wondering if anyone knows if the AC/heater assembly is mounted to the back of the dashboard or to the firewall in this car. If it is mounted to the firewall I will go ahead with the replacement but if it is mounted to the back of the dash I will have to figure something else out.
