The center part of the dash where the three warning lights and wiper controls are is missing one of the two wooden trim pieces. Rather than just replace one I decided to make two new place holder pieces out of masonite. While they don't match the rest of the console, they will at least match each other for the time being. I plan on having a full custom dash done with a CNC machine. I haven't decided if it will be wood or aluminium.
The second obstacle I needed to deal with were two stripped out sleeves on the back side of the glove box cover. The medal sleeves are screwed into the wood and have a hole in the center that accepts the threads from the bolt that hold it on. Luckly the sleeves had just come out of their loosened holes and I was able to get the back in properly with a little help from some epoxy. Once I had the door in I just needed to install the latch. HOWEVER, that was a problem since I can't seem to find the latch in any of my parts piles given to my by my uncle. A phone call will need to be made in the near future. Hopefully it's hanging around.
Outside of that one set back I was able to anchor down the wire harness, heating control wires and install most of the dash console. Next I will take a long hard look at the rug set that I have and decide if I want to wash it and dye it for now or just install it after I wash it. I'm low on money and patience so I may just assembler her as is for now as I can afford to replace and recolor parts.
