Dash pad Redux - 1982

[Loren L.]

I was out at the "Good Guys" street rod show in Scottsdale today (there are so many of these guys buried in their cars that they love that I feel SANE!) when I was approached by the current officers of the AZ SACC chapter to reprise my 1982 Restorer article about 58-62 dash pads - my response was that I would give them a copy to hand out to everyone and that, beyond that, there would be only one or two things that I would change/do differently now because Al Knoch has significantly improved the pads - some of which was based on the instructions in that article - WAS I REALLY ONLY 41 WHEN I DID THAT? Ignoring the 1982 comments from the northern regions about doing a dash pad in your driveway in March, I dug out a copy of the original article. I'll pause here for what I woud insert about what a GREAT Editor that John Amgwert was/is/
could be and let that go.

What it does bring back is that cover shot of Volume 9, #2, Fall 1982 (where the dash pad article appeared) has a picture of Don & Bonnie LaRue - then of Virginia. Don & I had touched base after that on extremetly late 65's with A/C, optional motors, and TI's and that I suddenly realized that I was either not paying attention or that it was WAY TOO LONG since I had heard/seen any mention of Don.

Who can help?

Don's still in Reston, VA. He and his cousin Tom Stewart and some of their buddies are in the same swap space at Corvettes of Carlisle every year.
