Factory dash with full cage?
How did you guys get the OE dash pad back in there with the down tubes at the A-pillar? I'd like to put mine back in, but I don't see any way this is going to happen.

you can take the windshield out and put it in if you have a cage that comes down in front of the dash.

Yeah I thought about that as a last resort, but it may be my only option. Any chance I could R&R that sucker by myself?

You wusses.... That's the only kind of padding there was when I started racing, and it was uphill in both directions, etc etc.......

If you fill the dash full of lead, it's easier to put back in.

His dash is currently built with negative gravity via a hidden switch.
I think he attended the Yunick school of rules.
