I'll have to trace the wires and see where they go but that seems to make sense.

There was this sticker on the new dash, it was missing from the original-

I googled the company and found this short article-

No idea what it's for. The General had a habit of doing those type things. I found one on the data line in the 02 Firebird donor for the Pig.

Good call on the sheet. I am storing this in my basement along with my fenders and header panel, plus some other odd and ends. It should be fine as long as no one kicks it.

Got the patch panel for the firewall today, should work perfect. I sold my Century FC90 and I'm going to pick up a Hobart Handler 140 and a bottle of C25 so I'll be able to weld in this and any other panels.

Also if anyone wants any of the pieces off the old dash, let me know. I think the binnacle/cluster surround is the only piece I'm keeping. Its gonna wind up in the garbage otherwise.

Maybe hang it from something? Surround it with boxes, wrap it in blankets, bubble wrap on the corners, etc.

Keep everything up off the floor. You don't need an unforeseen plumbing problem complicating things.
