    Dash cap I have....took it off so glue wouldn't get all over it! :tiphat:

    Might as well update while I'm here, finished up headliner and started to put weather stripping on along with trim and rear deck covering, also got some 6 X 9 speakers for the rear and an updated dome light to install.
