Re: 1939 Packard 110 Dashboard Trim Removal

I just finished this project about two months ago, good luck on the results. There are several small tabs that are bent over to hold the chrome to the dash, you will need to slowly straighten these up to release them. You probably will have several of them break off but it should work OK at the finish. I sent my chrome pieces out to the chrome shop and they look very nice now. To re attach all of this I was able to rebend a few of the tabs but I put a thick coating of RTV silicone around the speedo and clock circles and along the edges of the straight sections. Then I used a bunch of clamps to hold it all tight for a bit. It came out very nice. I used the Grain-It Technologies kit with their large size roller, this process took several weeks as I would strip it again and repaint it to get the correct pattern and color.
