To put an end to my suffering I coughed up the bread and bought a new
driveshaft (well really only the front half) from Rusty. I'm ready to be
driving the 190D rather than having it sit in my Indy's driveway.
Before I bought I used the IM feature on Rusty's site to ask about price. I
gotta say thats pretty dammed cool! Good job Rusty.
When I called to buy Gary put me on hold and passed me off to Tom, sneaky....
Tom covered for him, but I knew the truth, he somehow knew from my voice I was
a lister and ran in horror. ;)

Anyone know how I get this "glued-on vinyl/foam over metal thing" loose from
the dash?
The idea of making a wooden one appeals to me but I would need to get this
one off first to use as a sort of a pattern.

That's a tough one. The Frankenheap's grille is hard black plastic,
and is just fine. But the usual one I see, and the one that is
in the Ebola Fishtank, is that glued-on vinyl/foam over metal thing.
I never have seen a good one of those.
One other option would be to make a nice wooden one. That would
be somewhat labor-intensive.
Temperature control on your oven would be critical.
