Brief Description:  Instrument Panel 3 - Glove Box 1

After a couple days shoveling snow, I finally got back down into the basement to continue work on the instrument panel.

Today, for a change of pace, I began work on the glove box. With much of the assembly pre-drilled with pilot holes, today's effort focused onf:

- Match drilling the glove box flanges with the pre-drilled holes on the face of the instrument panel template.
- Determining the appropriate position of the glove box hinge to ensure the door will be aligned for closure and flush with the instrument panel when closed, then drilling it out to the glove box opening.
- Match drilling the other half of the hinge to the glove box door, again while ensuring it will still close.

It took a lot of fiddling, clamping, testing, and jiggering to get everything to line up. Now that the door it fit and drilled out, it's a matter of fitting the latch, installing the door stops, fitting the template to the instrument panel, and updrilling to final rivet size.
