Got the dash back from the painters, and as usual Garys Body Shop didn't disappoint. Jeffrey spent a weekend installing gauges and hardware and wiring it all back up. I can't point out the importance of documentation with pictures when it comes time for reassembly. With the ease and quality of cell phones today for taking pictures it is a valuable tool to have in the workshop. The steering column had been previously installed and was wrapped for protection during dash installation. Stainless steel fasteners were used throughout. Heater cables were routed and checked for function. Speaking of those, the retaining clips used to terminate the cable ends can sometimes be hard to find, and reusing the
old weak ones is a gamble that they would stay on. These are readily available from McMaster Carr in various sizes.
