I know the lower bolster has to come off to install the dash, but I like seeing how the whole thing will look.

A few more things to deal with. The ash tray front is low, even with the bracket adjusted all the way up.

Looks great. After the fact, there's a re-flocking kit available for the glove box. I haven't done it (yet), but I've seen the results from some other members' applications and they turned out nice.

Big day today--installing the dash. I got the top studs into their holes, and then bolted the underside bracket.

From the front. I still need to deal with the gap around the instrument cowl.

One more! I am excited since I have been waiting to get on with installing the blower, all the switches and gauges, and then testing the electrical system.

Bob, your work and attention to detail is amazing...you like a number of other Teeners in our World are amazing! Thanks for posting such great images as well....you have me looking to remove my Muffler Shield and now and cleaning everything up underneath for sure.

I will be sitting down over the weekend and likely longer to go back and read your whole thread!

Much thanks, Grant

Thanks for the tip, ElCee.

And thanks, Grant. Glad to share. Most days taking photos as I work keeps me steady.

OK, add another error to my record. As I started to feed all the wiring across the inside of the dash, and install the pull switches left of the steering wheel, I found this. Can you figure out what I did wrong?

After I mounted the front plate to the dash frame, I cut out all the holes in the dash face, without thinking. On my car, switches fill the 3 holes left of the steering wheel, and the cigarette lighter goes in the big hole on the right. But now I have 2 extra holes!

While I think about what to do with the dash, I got going on the targa hoop vinyl and trim. A couple of weeks ago, I polished some aluminum trim, including the pieces that mount along the window sides of the sails. But I left the metal unprotected. Rather than clear coat, I decided to try a metal polish.

On to installing the vinyl. I started with the top piece, and masked off the surrounding area.
