Looks good! Scott & your brother have it tag teamed.
No seats & no shifter is the only way I'll pull or install cumbersome molded dashes, ESP really nice ones. Only time i've ever chipped the leading edge of an uncracked 25+ year old molded dash asm, had no help to guide it out, & not thinking, didn't pull the auto shifter which had the shifter knob off. Sure enough the center edge of the dash found that small steel piece & chipped the leading edge
Getting ready to reinstall the fresh dash asm, prefer to have a loaded original dash laying on big table, as the example dash. Packing blankets on the PingPong table work really well.
