Re: Dash
the dash is bolted in on the sides and welded in at the bottom of the windsheild. take a good drill a hammer and chisel with you it will take about an hour to get it out. and take extra bateries with the drill theres about 40 spot welds lol.

Re: Dash

Re: Dash
If the windshield is gone, broken or if the salvage yard don't mind removing it, and you decide to remove the whole dash, go to NAPA or similar and buy a spot weld removing drill bit. Saves a whole lot of time and effort.
Just as an additional fyi: Most placed don't have electrical connections outside so take an 18 vdc or higher nicad or lithium ion (better) drill with a new or well charged battery and a spare. Nothing like winding up with a discharged battery and job not finished. |
