OK, it's a teaser but. . . . made you look.

Hopefully, I'll get past step 2 (or farther) this long w/e.

Man that is a project. Why did you pull the dash board?

The HU I am installing ran into the plenum behind it. I was half considering modifying the plenum. Actually decided to modify the HU instead. Removing the dashpad was actually pretty easy and made routing wires A LOT easier.
I just thought I'd post the pic because it looks so hairy.

It does look alot easier than any car I have pulled the dash from. All the dash boards I have removed the wire harness and brackets either come with it or get all clustered up behind the dash. That is cool you posted the pic. What H/U are you installing?

I wish I had taken more pics along the way. But I when I started Saturday morning, I hadn't planned to remove so much.

The head unit I am installing is in the middle of this post: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=695613

The re-install wasn't too bad either.
