dash is back in...WOO HOO! and how i fixed "the gap"
well tonight i finally put the dash back in...i think the rest of the interior will go together pretty quickly now...below is a pic...
also when i reinstalled the ductwork i repaired the 1/2" gap in the defog duct with Reflectex, spray adhesive and a couple of giant zip ties...
it worked great!
i took the pix below before trimming the extra zip ties off to better show what i did...

the dash dyed up really nice and i replaced the speedo lense and the center guage lenses and all of the 194 light bulbs...about 20 of them!
i didnt want to have to go back in there for a burned bulb! :rolleyes:
all of the ductwork got sealed really good too...
the new lenses are CRYSTALL clear!

It really is looking great.
When I first saw your car at Oldtowne last year, I thought your interior looked fantastic then.....Can't wait to see it again in person after all your hard work.

What exactly did you put down as insulation. It looks like Reflextex on top of the factory padding.
