Default Reassembly of 1990 Dashboard

I want to reassemble the Dashboard of my 1990. I have all the parts but want to make sure I get the reassembly sequence correct so I do not have to reassemble the reassembly

All other damages shown in this photo have been repaired

Any pictures of the 1990 dash in various stages of disassembly are appreciated

My 87 had the entire interior and harness from a 90 put in, but not by me. I did however end up chasing dozens of their mistakes and short cuts.

I would highly suggest testing the various components and functions, especially those run or monitored by the CCM. The guys didn't on my Vette and I had to repair wiring to the CCM and the HVAC controler, but just plain brutal to access once the dash is assembled.

I'm sure you already know that but just a caution if you weren't planning on tests as you go.

Maybe you've seen them already, Dynomite, but there are some pics of my '90 ZR-1 dash taken apart in my second restoration thread over at the ZR-1 forums. I'll repost them here, I also have these pics in larger size if you need.

I will take a look at those pictures.......yep...got some more pictures from that 90' ZR1 restoration

Say....what I did not realize is that the Dash of the 90' Z with LT5 is prolly almost identical to the dash of the 90' with L98 (at least as far as nuts and bolts go)

I got you covered in Solutions which I have to pay more attention to for my own use
If you have any more pictures than posted here or "there" .....I can use all I can get

Great Pictures....exactly what I need...appreciate that

I made the mistake of taking it apart thinking.....how simple can it get. I should have taken pictures as I took it apart. Each time I removed something I found something else to remove behind it. I now have a digital camera for even the simple stuff as I take it apart. Thanks again

I would never attempt that. I don't have that many brain cells left.

90 L98 and LT5 cars both used the same harness. C60 and C68 were the differences

+10,000!

Now I know who to ask to come do my heater core when finally goes out!

Nah, I'll just sell the C4 and buy a C6. Easier and cheaper!
