To cut the dash or not to cut the dash?

Some people are pickier than others. The more you customize your car, the harder it is to sell off and the more you may end up not liking it the older you get. I for one, have a huge pet peeve when it comes to cutting the dash. One of the best parts of owning and driving an old car is getting inside and just seeing all the classic pieces around you. Some people like to put in custom gauges, stereo's and their own bland customized touches to the interior. They might like it but when I look at it, the car no longer looks classic. It's just a plain steel interior with cheap gauges and a new cd player. Problem is that it's not stuff thats normally bolt in. If you want to fix the dash later on, you either have to weld it up and paint it inside the car...or you have to remove the windshield, remove the dash, fix the dash, paint the dash, install the dash and install the windshield. All for what....your aftermarket cd player that will be obsolete in 5 years? If you ask me, it's not worth it. Install it in the glove box, under the dash or under the seat.
