Default dash restore

ok, I went and purchased the new skins for my 75 vert dash. the local shop says that they can do the work.
so far Ive been able to get the passenger side off and the middle section off but the drivers side is giving me trouble?
Ive removed all the screws, and lowered the colum, the speedo cable (I havent disconted yet.) but is there anything else holding the panel in there ?, because I figure that when I disconect the speedo cable it should give me a couple of inchs to disconect the wires?, because as of now it has no give?, and of course I cant get my hand in there.
so any sugestions on how to get the drivers side lower dash out ? Id really like to here?. tks to all.
save the wave

there is a couple of clips that bend around the wiring harnes, you'll see as you start to pull the dash back. also disconnect the headlight switch terminal as soon as you get the dash far enough to reach. lay something on top of the column so it doesn't get all barked up!

don't forget the odometer reset cable, that will stop you from pulling the dash out.
