Hindsight being what it is, it would've been a lot easier at this stage before paint.

EDIT* Well, I just went back and read this whole thing. Gotta say this lift point is pretty nifty. Is it something you made?
Thanks for the heads up. I'm planning to use the factory dashpad, so I know it fits. I'm just planning on having it recovered.

The lift arm was made by a friend of mine. I came up with the design and he built it. He has some pretty sophisticated machining capabilities in his business. Worked out great.
