Hello ya'll; I bought "The Phoenix" (1977 Eleganza w/455) that had been done by the CoOp approx. 9-10 years ago. The intervening years have not been kind as a PO was in love with a dremel tool and lots of things disappeared. If anyone has anything that might make "The Phoenix" rise from the ashes again I would be grateful. What do I need? All the supporting structure for the dash, the complete dashboard & wiring (as all the gauges were messed with and the wiring is crimped/taped and glued together) it was glued/caulked/3" bugle screwed back together. I have rebuilt a 1972 Champion M/H from the ground up( stripped to the chassis and rewired/plumbed/etc.) and that was a piece of cake compared to this. So all you great GMC'ers PLEASE come to my rescue or I may have to abandon ship and sell it piece by piece which I think would be a great loss. Please e-mail me at: Sleepy_Am@sbcglobal.net with whatever pieces you have that will help remake "The
Phoenix" Thanks!!

Dave,
It would help if you could post some pictures of the damage that you wish to make new. You need to sign up for the GMC photo site. It would also help us if you put where you live, state would be the best.

Dave,
I suspect it would be easierto build a complete new custom dash -- as I
did. Search "kenhenders" on the photo site for 100+ photos.
