Complete rally dash frame removal
Windshield guy is coming out Sunday to remove the original windshield in our 67 fastback and upgrade to 68/9 stainless trim. This wont all be done in 1 day:lol:
While windshield is out I need to remove entire steel dash frame with EVERYTHING(as much that can come out attached).
I have a replacement frame powdercoated, I also have a replacement DIY rally dash harness that I've done and is "laid out" in the powdercoated frame.
Car is also an AC car(underdash components installed). No underhood ac components.
What's the best way to tackle this?
I was thinking of getting a head start prior to Sunday, but searching thru fabo I saw this pic of dash still in car with the windshield removed.
I thought maybe its easier to tackle AFTER the ws has been removed.(see 1st pic)
Now here are pics of my current setup.
Correct if I'm wrong but
1, unhook battery
2. Drain coolant
3 remove console
4 remove heater core/ac box
5 remove bucket seats as needed(they will be removed FOR SURE after glass guy has pulled windshield).
6 Lower steering column.
6. Wait for ws to be removed, THEN move on to unhooking/removing electrical(seats out for sure).
Once dash is removed I will be transferring over the inst bezel, controls, gauges over to powdercoated frame.
Any suggestions regarding any aspect of this CHORE is appreciated. Most of this will be done on my own, except glass removal and install.
I have a trim clip set coming
I have the clip template from fabo.
I have a tube of 3M bedding compound.
Do I need butyl tape?
Thanks all.
