Second chance 70 Duster

Well I've managed to eliminate most of the funky smell from the car, I think most of the smell was in the seats. Now I'm turning my focus to the dash and steering column. Somehow I'm going to have to fix this hack job, it's going to put my welding skills to the test.

I also got the dash pad off and I'm debating about a full replacement or just the cheap plastic cap that slips over it. This pad it kinda done for.
