[QUOTE=slenning;631719]Cut the front edge of the dash top out of 3/4 mdf on one of the cnc's at the cabinet shop. Pretty handy lol

Rule number ONE in auto design......
"No Straight Lines on a Styled Surface"
U might want to redo the dash top slightly.
I suggest u slim down the frame around the instrument cluster by increasing the radius of the topmost line by an inch, then drop the center point till the top is a quarter inch LOWER than original.
Then....the top line that heads over to the right towards glove compartment needs to be lifted 3/8" at the cluster end, and a HUGE radius like 200" to finish 1/4" BELOW original. Mirror that change to the small section on the left of cluster.
