I'm going to eliminate the glove box and the radio. My first thought is to get a flat piece of thin steel (like Porsche used behind the center piece of the dash) that extends from the steering wheel all the way over to the right side where the face ends, and cover that entire piece with the basket weave vinyl. Is that a decent way to execute this? If so, is it correct that it will "sandwich" between the dash top and the knee cap piece, as well as being glued? If so, can i slide it under the dash top or does it need to be removed?

With the bottom dash removed, these pieces are easily installed using double-sided tape to hold the metal to the dash. Not sure how to attach the metal plate over the radio and glovebox holes.
Why no glovebox? I would assume the radio will go somewhere else or replaced by an iPod. |

Just decided to leave it..makes life simpler, and I figure I need a place to throw tickets without them blowing away. The glove box itself is in pretty good shape other than a coupla holes in the rear on the bottom...forty years of abrasion I guess. Think I may just rough it up...clean it up, and fiberglass over the outside to reinforce it. Not sure what I'll do on the inside to clean it up...maybe glass over it as well, or "carpet" it with some kinda of felt.
