Looks like a good list to work from.
Add grease fittings to your wiper pivots and you can eliminate a possible place for water to get in. (I didn't, it did). Had to take them back out to do it after the dash was in. :banghead:
Are you rebuilding your heater box. I was really pleased with the DMT kit for that as well as firewall, etc. very accurate with shapes and materials.
Is your paint base/clear or single?
