Come on, Stan, TEN HOURS? I can take the dash out and put it back in
much quicker than that. I am doing one this morning so maybe I should
time it. I am taking my stretch in for a paint job and I am putting a
different dash in just so no paint gets on the good one. Then I will put
the good one back.

I will let you know how long the swap takes, just me doing it. Anybody
local want to come be referee and time me? Interested in a bet Stan? I
will guess 1.5 hours at most.
