A little help on how the dash mounts

I'm starting to work the dash and was test fitting it to the car.  I noticed that the side "flaps" sit on the outside of the door flanges.  See the picture below for the driver side.  Is this right?  I can't see it fitting any other way.  Kind of looks unfinished.  Is there some kind of molding that dresses it up?

yes that is correct, also make sure you fit the dash,over the steering column studs 1st then roll the dash into position.

Yeap, I had forgot about the steering column studs.  Fits better when they are in the holes properly. :slap:
