On Saturday, April 19, 2008, Jerry Heiss, Terry Newman, Keith Hall and Norm Stansell went to Frank Rosas's garage to help him remove the dash from his Chevy.  We used claw hammers, grinders, putty knives, wrenches, screwdrivers and lots of elbow grease to remove the rusted out old dash and make way for the new one.  Check back on the progress of this old Impala as Frank turns it into one sweet ride.  He has already installed a nice 350 with serpentine belt system and 4 speed tranny.  Lots more work to do, but every project has to start somewhere.

 

Jerry removes the first screw in the dash removal project.	Jerry working on removing the left garnish trim on the old Chevy.	Keith Hall is taking out the right garnish trim.	This 350 will power the Impala down the road.	Jerry gets advise on how to cut out the old dash from Norm and Keith.
It's much more fun cutting up someone elses car with a power saw.	Yes that's a claw hammer, after all its only a Chevy.	The dash is out and Jerry surveys the next step.	Keith and Frank look on in amazement at the now missing dash.	Frank is wondering to himself, "What have I done?"
