Mine has a small crease leading up from the cut slot under the dash looks like yours has 2 cuts
might have needed some extra work

The same lines are in my 73, it follows the lines in the padded dash. Leave the factory lines there.

Owned my 73 Challenger for 43 years , those lines are factory and the dash pad follows those same lines, don't remove them. When the top pad is installed the lines flow togather

Those are not the lines he is talking about, his has a crease in the flat area.
