Anyone who’s been under the dash to replace anything can appreciate paying someone else to handle it.  Dash work is best performed by those 12 year old world class gymnast types who can bend in half.  When I walked into the shop yesterday and saw Chip contorted underneath the dash of this big Healey, I knew he was earning his keep.  The heater control valve on this car was quite corroded and plugged, so he was installing a new one to eliminate the leak emptying into the footwell of this car.  Another look at the overall scene:
