You obviously don't know the PROPER procedure for taking apart the dash.

Step 1 - Start by opening the car doors of the Vette that's been sitting in the sun. Realize it's hot, and that you need to drink something. Down a beer.

Step 2 - Get a phillips head screwdriver to start unscrewing the screws holding the side panels down. Realize that halfway through the job, the previous owner bubbafied it and mixed some flat head screws in. Drink a beer to make the headache of the different screws go away.

Step 3 - While trying to get the dash top out, you accidentally spill the 2/3rds gone bottle of your 4th beer (did I mention that you were still thirsty and sweating from the exertion and heat of the interior of the car, and so you've chugged a 3rd beer?) and start swearing like someone with Tourett's. Try to clean it up with greasy rag.

Step 4 - Feeling the buzz that's going on from having 4 beers, you think maybe your arm is skinny enough to just fit between the dash and the bezels, so that you can unhook the tach & speedo without taking the A-Pillars off. Put several scratches on your arm from the bezel when you realize that you cannot fit your arm between the dash and the bezel. Down another beer to help numb the pain, because hey, alcohol will kill germs from the open wound, right?

Step 5 - Realize that you don't have the arms of an anorexic 11 year old child and say, "Ahh, screw it!" Down the final beer of your six pack and think about conning someone else into doing it so you can laugh at their efforts.
