In the process of trying to install a new dash pad in my 58. I picked up the car mid restoration so I did not have the pleasure of being part of the disassembly process. Can anyone offer any advice on this process and or do you know of a good written document on the steps. I have also heard that there is a video floating around showing step by step procedures. My main concerns are as follows:
How much adhesive to use (and where).
What portions of the foam can/should be scrapped away?
Do I trim the excess material around the windshield so that the weather stripping covers the gap or do I tuck it under the windshield frame? (The excess material on my pad is curled up and is pretty tight, seems like it'll rip if I try to bend it down) see pic.
Is there a concern when installing the gauge cluster or the dash insert/grab bar?
