So I bought a little Hula Girl to dance on the Tuna Boat's dash.  After all what self respecting 58 owner would not have a Hula girl dancing on the dash.  

So my question is this:  the little Hula girl statue has an adhesive pad on the bottom to keep it attached to the dash.  Should I be concerned that this adhesive is going to take the paint off the metal?

If so, what are alternative ways to attach it to the dash?  Silicon bead?
Would plastic be okay for you today?

Hello;
I have pretty much the same thing with a plastic Jesus! He has a magnet for a base and he always stays on the dash lookin right at me!
But I think that Hula Girls don't reside in the front of the car I have seen them mounted on the package tray in the rear of the car!

I got one on the dash of my 65 country squire and I think I more permanently mounted it but cant remember exactly what I done plus its at the rented garage,I think the part of the base with the adhesive is removeable and I screwed it to the dash with a very smmall screw and have it over the speaker grille.  I got my hula girl at the surf shop on A1A in the Bellaire plaza in Daytona beach a few years ago.  Jeff

Around here back then they put the Hula girl on the package tray.
Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

I guess it's just one of the drawbacks of having a '32 Roadster.  No place to mount a Hula Girl.

Back in the day, I was known to have the Hula girl with me in the back seat.
As a matter of fact, it's where I got my first Lei.......... :D
