One that I didn't see is... to make your life much easier install your passenger kick panel prior to the inside heaterbox.
The kick panel may go after however it's a tight fit at best.

I learned the hard way on this one ! I then started putting the kick panels in first even before carpet, just in place and not screwed down.

you and me both Mike.
It's said that a smart man can learn from his own mistakes whereas a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
Wisdom I lack however after touching a hot stove, I am a quick study.
