I apologize.I didn't mean anything against the workers on the line. But, when we try to replicate the way they did it means they didn't have time to do a perfect job, it was hurry up and get it out the door in most cases.Thats what I meant about the ash tray and glove door being a different shade. They were painted, and then assembled somewhere else than the dash frame. I just wanted people to be aware of that in case they were wanting to do a dash as close to original as possible. Shoot, I've owned my car since 1974, and didn't even notice it till last year.
