mounted the headlight and the power antennae switches. the power antennae will not go to anything and is just there for looks. I left the wires on it and tied them up.
thanks to a local friend for letting me borrow the special tool for tightening the nut on those two switches. I tried to make my own using a 1/4" allen wrench and 3/16 drill bit. I went through 4 drill bits and I wasn't even half way done drilling. if I had a drill press it would have been easier though. its totally doable.
I painted the air control panel and the glove box door using black appliance epoxy paint. its tough as nails. I handled it before I normally would after painting so that I would put some scratches, etc into the finish. this allowed it to match the rest of the dash as if it was original.
