Thanks for the tip on applying a little bit of heat to soften that hard plastic. I just got a find an ashtray that has the tabs I can bend and I should be in business. It’s never going to get used to because the owner doesn’t smoke and he’s giving it to his grandson who also doesn’t smoke...

Hey Monty, I would really appreciate that. Thank you. I got a hold of the guy Steve from the other Mopar place. He wants 325 bucks for the two belt line moldings and one used ashtray from his 71 console…. So I’m kind of in shock lol. I would really appreciate seeing your 72 consul ashtray and...

I am either going to use my standard 3M strip caulk that I’ve called monkey **** for 40 years or I’m gonna find some white strip caulking somewhere and use that. I just haven’t pick any up just yet
