That will only happen if you have the skills of a gynecologist. You'll be working elbow deep without being able to see what your doing.
I just pulled the dash last weekend. Plan on spending a full day on it... and it will turn out much better. It's not that bad of a job.

I have to wait until this car becomes a toy and not a primary vehicle

Revived Again:
Warp10, did you pull the whole "climate control center" w/o pulling the motor? How did you get to all the bolts in the engine bay? Please teach me the ninja ways. . .

WOW, sorry i missed this. i don't have any great pics, but i have a couple. i've had to change spark plugs a couple times and it was VERY EASY, much easier than stock anyway.
i just made a rough piece out of cardboard, trimmed as needed, then traced it on a piece of steel sheet metal. i cut outside the lines, mocked it up, and trimmed as needed in small areas at a time. My body guy used panelbond to install it when the engine bay was painted, but you could use screws or other fasteners if you like. there are no rules here: you have a hole, find a way to fill it.

no the dash stayed in. i just cut/tore out the black plastic box carefully then removed the condensor. it was pretty straight forward, you'll see when you get in there.
Just be careful when cutting around the firewall because it is sandwiched between the inside part (heater blower) and the outside box that you're trying to remove. There are some fasteners that hold the internal parts to the firewall that you can't see until you cut the outside away. Like i said, it's easy and straight forward once you get in there and do it.
