Dash is Fixed

 I convinced the vendor to ship me a new dash, matte black.....for free.  That's a $380 product so I think I didn't pretty good.  No bragging but I remember my first wife, Lee's mom actually was shocked and embarrassed when she saw me negotiating with a manager at Kmart for a set of golf clubs.  I got that deal too.  Anyway, I got the dash and did the initial fitting into the space drilling and cutting to get it to fit.  Lots of work is always required on aftermaket parts.  Got the holes cut for the start button, status light, and cut the holes for the AC vents and installed the vent lovers.  Got the gauges all reinstalled and heres what I got.

I'm very pleased with this.  It was well worth the effort to redo all the work installing it.

Now I'm going to finish the AC installation and then get back to painting.
