Sounds like I might have a few challenges also, I have not tried to put everything in to it yet.

It's a bit of a challenge in a few areas. Right now I'm trying to get the radio to fit properly. I don't think it's the dash though, had the same issue with the original dash. It's a Ken Harrison cassette radio that's supposed to fit these dashes. The face slides through the dash so there is no movement up or down once it's in. The volume knob post is not centered in the hole in the dash, too high, the tuning post is centered. The fader and balance knobs sit down in the holes, at least they're supposed to. Because the post isn't centered the knob won't fit down in the opening.

It's always something! Good thing I don't have any work to do, the kind you get paid for, or I'd never get this done.

Loosened the volume post and faceplate on the radio to try and get better alignment of the post in the hole. Still no go. The hole in the face of the dash tapers, get's smaller deeper in. The fader and balance knobs were just too big around at the base so I cut off the back edge and got them installed. Here are some better pics of the lettering after removing the paint.
