Complete Dash Removal

[kelsfine69]

I went to a wrecker and cut out a compete unmolested dash out of a 67. Only paid 10 bucks for it. It should make a nice wall hanging in my garage. I will get some pics.

That sounds cool. I have seen dashes mounted at Brothers. I never thought about doing it in my garage...would be cool, I think.

Here's some pics. I grabbed this Manual floor center hump also. I don't know if its worth anything, but I took it because I have seen so many cut up for other trannys and it looks all factory. Maybe I will sell it.

i need to pull a dash...whats the procedure?

[kelsfine69]

It wasn't pretty. They are spot welded where the windshield is mounted at the bottom. The glass was still in so I decided to remove the pad and cut under the pad. Then there is three bolts in each side you have to remove , under the column 2 bolts. I used a cordless jigsaw to cut under the dash pad( that worked slick ) Remove the heater controls and all that stuff

Then some grunting and groaning because the jigsaw doesn't cut into the corners, used some tin snips there and out she comes. .

I figured with the extra parts that one accumulates over the years I could make a complete dash and hang it on my wall.

It is actually very easy, there are like 30 or so spot welds that need to be drilled out and 2 bolts on either side up under the dash. Then it comes right out, just time consuming...Check the pics

Here you go, mount some speakers and radio in it and have an original boom box hanging on the wall.
