After I removed the CB radio and the make shift instrument panel you can see the major dash damage created by the two large opening. This repair will be a bit tricky but not impossible.

Nice job and thanks for putting the pics up.  I will be sure to reference them when I finally find me an M422.

My M-422A1 is also missing seats. Maybe we should all get together and fabricate some. If we get enough people together the cost will be much lower. I know someone here in Colorado that can do the job if we have good photos and measurements. what do you think?
