    then i took some stainless steel butter knives and heated it up cherry red and melt the mesh into the two parts of the dash(underneath)joining them together

    to make sure i have all three pieces lined up before i go any further i screwed the front support onto all three pieces and "tacked the glove box side in place.

    thats as far as i got last night.
    not sure if i am gonna wrap the dash or paint it at this point

    got back at it last night.
    had to put the metal supports for the glove box on to help line everything up then test fit

    had to scab in the vx glove box side because the axiom one was different

    back on the bench and more welding once o got it line up and the contour of the axiom by the glove box required some attention.
