Great! About time you get back working on your car.
You are correct there sir.

For a while there I thought I may catch up to your progress.
Well this weekend didn't go as planned. Got up early Sat. to great weather. Plan was to get "the list done Sat. and garage time Sunday. Sticks picked up, check. Dog to groomer, check. Almost getting buried getting a deer blind wagon out, Check Install new door on it, check. Groomer calls Dog has a injury, quick trip the vet. Antibiotics prescribed, crisis averted. Back home pick up mess in driveway from quick exit. Go put up Mom's bird houses, & put choke cable on mower, check. Sharpen blades test drive. Finally long day but everything's done on the list. Till I start passing blood in my urine that night. Miserable night, trip to people vet. She says either I passed a kidney stone or Urinary track infection. I get Antibiotics. Figured I better take it easy Sunday after that. Still a little nervous waiting for culture results to get back. When she started talking about prostrate issues it put the fear in me.

Hope everything turns out OK. I know about those Kidney problems. Hopefully you just had kidney stones.
Great news, was just a kidney stone & a urinary tract infection! Should be good to go! 
So I finally got some time in the garage over the weekend! Yay. First I installed the hard to find Tbolt I was lucky enough to receive from a great friend! Thanks Justin 
I then installed the dash pad, AC vent surround, switch panel, and AC vents and glove box lid. Lots of off & back on fitting. I found that only installing the top three screws tight on the dash pad mad it easier to put the switch panel in, then tighten the rest up after.
I noticed the Tbolt showing on the left side. I looked at Justin's dash for reference and thought I saw the same amount showing. Is this normal? Still have to drill the attaching holes for the Side AC vents.
I'm pretty happy with how it looks so far.
One question I do have is did the 2 & 3 speed wipers have the same switch panel?
I still need to figure out how I'm going to letter the extra switch for the Gear Vendors on/off.
Felt really good to get back to the car. Thanks everyone for keeping me motivated.

It's common but not always. I think pad shrinkage has a lot to do with it. Here's a 68 GTX without that problem...
Thanks SoCal. I may have to put a little black paint on it to try and hide it a little.
Thanks PPRT! That also gives me a visual for how the AC vent matches up. I may have to try and adjust the hockey stick down a bit to mate up like yours. How's the SS coming along? Looks like a garage weather weekend coming up.
So here's my current dilemma. I'm using the second rocker from the right to power my GearVendor overdrive. I'd like to put a raised font that matches the other switches underneath it and on/off to the left side of it. Anyone have any ideas. I don't really want to just slap a sticker on there. But I may have to resort to something like that.
I think I'll also wire in a relay to cut power when in reverse, I've heard that is hard on them.
