HELP NEEDED WITH A DASH FRAME INSTALLATION

I had the same thing happen with my 69 Barracuda. It was like the dash relaxed a little (Stealing from @Dart apart). I don't see a problem. Just draw the bolts down slowly and evenly. Don't suck them all the way down one at a time. Do a little at a time on each one in a left to right or right to left sequence.
