    Proper Sequence

    Hi,
    Which order have you all found easier to do?
    Install the dash before or after engine install? Or does it matter?
    I currently have the cockpit finished (except for console - in transit), trunk finished - in fact everything as I wait for one part so I can put my engine and tranny together and install. I'm getting antsy to do something but there is nothing until engine gets in.
    Thanks.

    Final install of the dash is one of the last things we do.

    I installed the dash after the engine. Had it sitting on the trans tunnel and a couple boxes, wired everything up and tested everything before installing. Aster the dash is installed, you'll be hard pressed to sort out any wiring issues with the limited space.
