I'm new to FABO, have a 64 Valiant and want to know if anyone can tell me how to remove the instrument panel from it. The more detail the better, thanks!

It is a good idea to put some strips of masking tape or painters tape on your steering column so it doesn't get scratched when you are removing the instrument panel.Remove the fasteners (bolts) that secure the steering wheel column and let the column drop down. Then do what 65cuda340 said.
Thanks everyone, will give this a try. Most likely will have to replace my ignition switch as it is very loose and doesn't get a good solid connection when trying to start. The ignition unit is very loose and turns way too much.I think it should be the same as my '65 Barracuda. Remove the bezel around the ignition switch first; this can be done by expanding the tips of needle-nose pliers against the two slots in the bezel and unscrewing it. After removing the four screws that hold the panel in place, it's just a matter of pulling the panel out from the dash enough to disconnect the wiring from the backs of the gauges. It's about a five-minute job at most.
