I replaced my dash pad the same way you did...difficult to get that last bolt to the far left wasn't it!! ...Took a while for the skin to grow back too!!..

1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
