lowbudget!
missed you around here, dude!
Excellent price on the material.
1. Front A pillars: you don't have to remove the dash to get it out. At least I didn't on my fifth avenue. Just back out the screws up on the top of the two 'arms' of the pillar and tension holds it in. Firmly pull the pillar out.
2. Rear inside bonnet: I pieced mine. Decide if you want a seam in the center or two seams (about 8 inches in) one on each side. I went with the two seams since it made the material handling easier - smaller pieces.
I glued the long flat area on the top and bottom; carried it to the inside corners. Then cut a rectangular piece for each side that would cover the side-vertically- and another 20 to 25 inches longer than you need. You want to find the center of the vertical side on the bonnet. Find the center on the fabric. Glue from center to end of the vertical and then wrap it around on top of the long piece you just put on.
I figured out how far I wanted it (8 inches), and cut it about 2 inches longer. Folded the raw edge under and glued it down.
Let me see if I have a picture and I'll post it in next reply.
