Default Removal of dash

Thinking of removing my whole dash

How long to remove and replace left and right dashes?

You input is welcomed.

1) It sounds like you may be describing a 63-67 vette
2) You talk of removing the whole dash but also ask about the left and right.

What year car are you working with?

If you have a 63-67, are you asking about removing the 2 dash pads, or removing the entire dash including the riveted portions?

The dash is one piece. It has two pads, R/L. Pull the steering, gauge cluster, interior trim, glove box/door, radio, console and maybe the seats...it's good for a Sat afternoon. When you do this, take pictures, you'll need them for the install. Dennis

Lots of work. The bottom inside windshield trim has to be removed also. The center dash bottom is glued to the shifter tunnel. Don't force or break anything. Catalog all your fasteners. You can do it.
