Dash removal

RedFish said
In my 67 notch, The original hardware is about the same height above and below. I turned the U nuts on upside down, original bolts in from bottom up. The bolts weren't long enough to cause a problem. It seemed to be a good plan at that time (6 or 7 yrs ago). It didn't take long for me to realize that I would never remove this entire dash again. Other members here have stated the same experience/revelation. We agreed, what's done is done.

I could see that in the event of a normal restoration. I’m planning on changing my windshield and gasket this winter due to haze and leaks and will be leaving my current dash in the car. But I plan to modify/customize another dash frame that I have and install aftermarket gauges, the swap the whole shebang down the road.
