dashboard swap?

How hard is it to do a dashboard swap?

i'm looking to put a 99-04 style Mustang dash in my MM [its all going with a Mustang theme, the seats are also from an 01 Mustang]. its the same size door-to-door per say, but the curve by the windshield is way different. whats the best way to modify it to fit? Also, what kind of work am i looking at as far as the steering wheel and gauge cluster? we have no a/c or heat so that won't cause us any issues.

The easiest way to swap is to get a fiberglass repro dash and recurve it to fit the MM dash curve. If thats not an option, then you could make a steel plate to fill the difference, then make filler pieces painted to match that tie into the interior, like some cars have.
