Does anyone have tips on dash reassembly for a bare dash going into a 68 B Body?
I had the dash sandblasted and painted and am going back with all green stuff like original.
Is the dash pad the last to go on or does the switch panel go in last?
Any tips on screw sizes? I know you can buy a kit but it would be easier if I could go to the store and get particular sizes rather than dig through my hardware stash.
My car was in pieces when I got it and I am putting in a nice dash I got as opposed to the one I got with the car that was hacked up for speakers and stereo.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the responses. Yes I have the dash out of the car.
I think for hardware I'll get a few packages of different size sheet metal screws and just use what fits.
One thing I'm concerned with is the dash pad. I have original 68 door panels, glove box, and front dash pad.
I bought the after market dark green top dash pad from MegaParts they said just came out and the green is a lighter shade than all of the other pieces. Not a big deal but it would be nice if I've gone this far that the new top dash pad would match the originals.
I can post pictures of all of the different pieces.
It would help to have an exploded diagram from a shop manual if anyone has one.
