Got it!! 
I tried the center gauge bezel first but no luck. Pulled the left panel partially out and removed the courtesy light bracket because it was hitting the hood release bracket. Modified the hood release bracket for some clearance and reinstalled the left panel. The extra clearance allowed the panel to shift more to the left and then allowed the center gauge bezel to be installed in the exact center of the dash. The right panel went in easy. I still don't have the shifter console installed. I still need to order a new one. My existing shifter console is broken and in terrible shape.
Now to finish the steering column and get it reinstalled then finish the console. I might get the interior finished by the start of summer.
Thanks for all of the help!
