Welll, I am further along tonight!

I have the dash installed. It took a little effort, but it went pretty well. We resprayed the gray, to cover up the 'blemish' that it had. I test fit it, and tried it out this afternoon, with the HVAC controls hanging out, and we decided we were ready to hack away! I spent about 2 hours cutting with a dremmel where the stock CD player was to make the HVAC fit properly. Got that all done, and then I disocvered that DohCrazy must have cut the top of the HVAC control box for the VGA cable to clear. I wasnt quite sure I wanted to do that, so I brought the dash inside, and looked at it for a few. I decided to take the bottom 2 screws out of the back cover on the screen, and space it out about 1.25" with spacer made from a bic pen. This worked quite well, and gave the clearence I needed.

Dash is all in place now, but I must have stressed Doh's handy 'glass work', as I now have a crack at the top of the original 4x4 button hole. This doesnt upset me too much, as because of the way the 4x4 button module is, I think I will have to put it there anyway, and that would cover up the crack.
