I am sure you will get it back together, my concern would be rattles behind the dash.

Cant wait to see the final product !
It took us about 7 or 8 hours to take it out, we had to do it real careful. We are planning on reinstalling it again by next Saturday, we are going to take longer on the installation process, so we are taking both days Saturday and Sunday to work on it. The sound system is also being recovered with leather so its double installation that we have to do this upcoming weekend.

I must say that I've torn apart plenty of expensive dashs while installing my customer's mobile electronics, but those pics actually made me cringe.... haha

Our kids must be clones. The picture looks like my 16 yr old's room during an xbox 360 overnighter on the weekend.
