Ok this may seem like a dumb question.. :) But when you say instrument
panel do you mean where the speed odometer etc.. are or where the
stereo / ac controls are?

I have pretty much taken the dash apart before to put in a stero and
an alarm.. But I am trying to track down this grounding screw and I
can't seem to locate where it is..

Thanks!!!
