its dead on. i had to make 7 brackets. i went to lowes and got some 1/4 - 20 all thread nuts and 1/2 long 1/4 - 20 bolts and bolted them to the dash. then i got 1/4 cold rolled rod and cut them to the length i needed, on on each side of the threaded nut and one on the bottom to make a triangle.
for the two lower side mounts i used two more of the all thread nuts and a piece of 1/2" tube and welded the nuts inside the tube. the tube then was cut to length and welded to the "A" pillers where the stock dash was welded to the piller.
the lower center mount i used the stock mount and made a stand to bring it up 2" to hold the dash up in the right spot.
i'll post up better pictures tonight, working on installing the frame rails now before i cut off the back of the car that way i have a referance point to where the stock frame rails went and everything lines up right when i go to install the new rear sheet metal.
