Default 1979 dash pics please

Does anyone have pics of the interior dash area before the dash goes on? I bought the car apart and don't want to miss anything during reassembly. Any tips for proper assembly sequence would be appreciated.
Thanks

Purchase the '79 assembly instruction manual (AIM). The AIM will have several pages of diagrams on the dash, cluster, console, and all the varioius goddies behind the dash.

Thanks Mike! Yes I agree, I have the AIMs for all my years and use them often. Sometimes a few pics or tips from someone putting their dash back in can really help out.

Thanks! Very helpful for locating the harness. Do you happen to have one with the ducts in place?

Here is some pics of my '79 with the dash out. At the moment I'm installing a Borgeson steering box and a hydrobooster, so the interior is on hold at the moment. If you need any additional pics let me know.

I shrank them down to 800X600 before posting and normally they would be the proper size to view here. I guess CF must now have an automatic method of shrinking pics once they are posted. I will forward them to your email.
