Hi:
To facilitate locating the dash pad holes I suggest you use a very small
drill and drill completely through the lower dash sheet metal. That way once
the dash pad is glued in place you can poke a pin thru the bottom from under
the dash. Much easier than poking a zillion holes in the dash pad while
trying to find the elusive hole in the metal dash.
Also, I suggest replacing the cardboard strip under the front of the dash
pad (above the wooden dash) with a piece of plastic. I used some gray
plastic obtained from a sign shop. The plastic is firm but not brittle and
can be cut with scissors. It is about 1/16 inch thick. Paint is satin black
rather than cover it with material. Works like a champ and never warps with
humidity.
