Next day, I removed the clamps and covered the backside of the dash with one layer of roven and one layer of chopped mat. On the right side, You can see its cut out in a vee shape. Plans are to run fuel, wiring and steering up that side, so hopefully the will sit in there ok.

While I was on a roll, I mixed up some fiberglass impregnated bondo and filled a bunch of unused small holes around the inside edge.
