First things first. Contact Fred Thomas and ask him to powder coat your
intrument panel in black crinkle. He does a fantatic job and it looks
just like stock.
For reassembly I install and connect all the guages in the instrument
pannel. When I install the guages I am careful to get as much slack
wire and cable as possible. then once the guages are installed I start
the top two wing nuts while the panel is still outside the dash. Then I
tilt the guage pannel top toward the dash until I can feed the top studs
into the their receiving slots in the dash. Once the top studs are
started I line up the bottom studs with their holes and seat the
pannel. Then I tighten all the wing nuts.
