Ok, the dashboard upholstery has begun. I'll admit, it's easier than I expected. There are quite a few YouTube videos on how to proceed. My biggest worries were how to finish the edges near the windshield posts and whether I'd have enough material left to cover the bumpers. We'll see pretty soon how it turns out.
I ran it under the windshield post to kind of act like a gasket.
I don't have anything under my corner posts 
and I finished off the dash cover to match the dash bumpers nicely, like this:
Like Blind Faith said in their song; "Do what you like"!
Also, Dr. Clock often runs a length of rubber fender welting under the lower aluminum trim piece and around the corner posts to finish them off. Looks nice, but not worth re-doing the world at this point.
Looks good. Thanks for the tips!
I'll have to admit I'm really enjoying this. Maybe it's just the contact cement fumes talking, but this could be addictive. One bumper down, one to go. Then I'll decide about the silver trim strip. Any opinions?
IM standard issue...
BTW, glue can make things a bit more fuzzy as you get high 
I love the smell of gaz which is funny too.
Did'jah see the trim strip under my dash bumpers? OK, so mine's gold tone, but they have chrome (silver), too.

You only need like 5 feet to run under the bumpers and this stuff has an adhesive backing that withstands the rigors of being outside in that intense Hawaiian sun.
And that contact glue outgases more if you heat it a bit - but I bet you already figured that out......

That is looking really clean Mike. Great job.
Make sure you have an AC vent to your feet and leg area... Not for the passenger.
Leave the silver trim off. Later, if you can't live without it, put it back on.
Once you drill the holes, especially on a silver car, tough to go back. In my opinion it will look cleaner.
No chrome strip , Just my .02
Eh, I decided to go ahead with the strip. Ooh, shiney things... Finished it up except for the dash handle. The replacement one I had bought fits a dash without bumpers. Drat. But the good news is with all of the fumes today, I can cut a glass of wine off of my evening imbibing. Oh, and Ray, there are AC vents under the dash on both sides ☺️
The shiny things are looking great, Mike.
And it looks like some of them light up, too!

They're both brain cell killers, guys; it's a good thing you both won't be around long enough to suffer long term...
I really like the way you integrated the A/C vents. Nice work, Mike! 
That dash looks about perfect. Really excellent job! PM me if you want to sell your grab handle as it might work on my Spyder.
Mike:
That may be the coolest dash I've ever seen in one of these cars.
Stupid-Cool.
^^^What Stan said^^^ Looking really sharp, Mike.
The placement of the AC vents are rather unique to say the least as most times they are on a lower panel.
