    I took painter's masking paper folded in half long ways and set the edge against the ashtray opening and bottom chrome trim and stuck a pencil in the holes that were on the parts car dash. Then I knew where to drill the holes in the dash when I placed this pager on my dash. I did have to drop the package tray to put the nuts on the studs using a 1/4" drive ratchet with short extension. The nut driver was too long and hit everything behind the dash...deep well socket was too short the swing ratchet. Oh, I did remove the "Maverick" badge from the dash to begin with.

    If you mean the black Mustang and the 59 I am going to guess it's a 65 Fairlane.
