dash removal on '66
dash removal on '66
Has anyone removed a dash on a '66? I would really like to remove it and do some bump and paint work. The lower end of the dash is no problem, however, the top where it meets the glass is my question. Can this be removed safely? Is it welded, or just a bond? Any help would be great. THis is not the dash pad here, it is the actual entire dash.
The dask pad is bolted in. it is easiest if you have the instrument cluster out as well asn the golve box... the heater cowl is held in by the bolts on the top end.. be careful those are very fragile.....
also, you should be aware that as far as i know there are no aftermarket dashpad covers....

Hey Rod- Thanks for the reply. You have been a source of great knowlege lately. I am the guy that has been speaking with you via e-mail about the t-5 and trans hookup (the one with the black 202). Are you saying that if I remove the dash pad, and then the heater bolts, I will be able to pull the entire dash completely out?
Rod- I would really like to remove the dash to send out to paint. I could have him do it while in the car, but it would be easier to do body work outside. Also, it will reduce the chance of overspray on the rest of my car. I pulled the dash pad mounting plate, but no other bolts found on the dash. I did notice that it is either welded at some point, or just a bead of adhesive which I may be able to cut and pull it out. I still need to find out if anyone knows 100% how it is connected.
