When leafing the 70 Chevelle dash,did you have any problems with the four Compound corners?
This has always been a deterent to me personally.
I have two 1970 Beautiful Chevelle SS dashes here now on the floor,that I will eventually send out to American.

Rick:
Compound corners were not an issue. Leaf (whether alum, gold or silver) is less than tissue paper thin (and harder to handle than wet tissue paper!). It works onto any surface readily regardless of the profile (convex, concave). Of course, the thin lines of the 70 Chevelle dash make the leaf sheet overlaps invisible to the naked eye. Maybe I'll run up and take a couple pics and post.

For what it's worth, the Comet dash I had CV do is clearly CONCOURS as is one other one I saw that they restored. I don't know why they told you that unless you scared the hell out of 'em. They are tops in my book.
