I finished reconnecting all the switches, installed vents, organized / cleaned up wiring bundles and started testing (so far no magic smoke has been released!).
Panel re-install in progress: (My brother Paul was here to help with the install panel install and having two sets of hands made a huge difference!)
Paul and I spent about half the day making these two frames for the defog fan cutouts. I have decided to go with an ultraleather fabric on the glareshield so I needed a way to trim around the cut outs.
