I decided to go with two pieces of aluminum instead of 1 just in case I have to change or do any work to the toggle switch panel on the right, I don't have to take the whole thing down.

Here are some extra random shots of some other work that was done while the dash was out:
BEFORE (notice the block off plates for where the wipers go):
AFTER:
no more wiper motor bracket. Also made a couple block off plates for where the cowl vent boxes hook to. Painted it with Zero-Rust.
