Read the thread, you got it all wrong psi is in airbags not tires, and if I have to dyi explain you how to prep something for.paint it.would probably be a good idea to have someone else do it

i dont know i didnt take anything apart just took the dash out, i doubt you can get the actual box out that contains the evaporator and heater core without taking the dash out.

That dash looks great! I've been wanting to do something like that. Is it a difficult task?
