Practically thinking, you're going to have your hands full gluing the wrap around edges of the material around the dash panel. Having done this a couple of times, I can tell you that you'll want to have the dash completely out of the car and with no gauges, switches or wires in your way.

If this is your first attempt, I'd like to warn you that it isn't as simple as you think it is. I did my 289FIA dash, which curves inward at the edges (not sure about the 427, but I'd think it was the same). I didn't like my first attempt due to two very minor defects, and my second attempt got a glob of glue under the material right in the middle, and looked crappy. It was while I was cleaning off the glue from my aluminum dash when it occurred to me that a polished aluminum dash would look pretty cool.

Actually, the polished aluminum dash attracts a lot of attention, and I've never had an issue with glare.

If you do cover in naughahyde, be sure to purchase UV-protected naughahyde like they use in upholstering boats---or you'll be doing it again in a year or so. Well, unless you leave your Cobra sitting protected in your garage, but that's not what you bought it for.
