69 Barracuda dash help/opinions

Spent a little time out there today. Miserable miserable job. I have the wipers, lights, hazards, radio, lighter all disconnected and out of the way. Heat control is still in the way a bit. Got the tach loose but i don’t see how to remove it completely. Also, lots of little bulbs are soldered And glued in without a quick connect

the biggest issue is that outer portion of the gauges is wider than the opening in the bezel. So the only way I’ll get the bezel out of the car is by tracking the wiring for each gauge, which is a disaster.

Too much aftermarket work done here with the intention of NEVER looking at it again. Typical i suppose.
