I am the one who said "I would never do it again." You would be way ahead of the game to pay someone to cut out/straighten your current dash and using sections of your good donor dash for patches. The only reason I replaced my dash was because I also needed to replace a severely rusted cowl. I will never do that again either, BTW. I should have found a better cab.
