Starting My restoration on a 65 Barracuda...1st question Instrument Cluster Removal?

You have to drop the steering colum. On the bottom of the dash, by the collum, are two7/16, or 1/2 in bolts, they hold the round bracket that holds the collum up. Loosen them up, to where you can lift the cluster out. If you still can't move it, take the bolts all the way out. You might have to loosen the three large bolts, down on the firewall where the collum goes thru. Only loosen the three large bolts. This will let you move the collum around to remove the cluster. Don't forget the speedometer cable. I always put an ole towel around the collum to keep it from getting scratched.
