He is Awesome. I highly recommend him. He does great work. He has done my cluster and my brother in laws. Prices are more then fair and he will bend over backwards to help. Great customer service.

I recently had a problem with my 84; could barely read the gauges in the daytime. Called Bryan at Batee. He sent me a photocell kit which fixed the problem for less than $30. The video shows the dash top being removed. I just pushed the the top up to remove the cluster. Did not have to take it off.

Thanks

I had him do my 1986 over a year ago and it works great. Turned it around in a week.

He's the best.. I totally trust him.

Fixed my video game dash up sweet with his parts and he was very helpful.

No, but it makes access and removal of dash cluster easier. Dash top comes off easily. Most difficult for dash top are the screws in the defrost area. I've had mine off three or four times.

It's not necessary to completely remove the dash. Just remove the screws along the front (closest to you) so you can lift the dash a little bit. That helps a bunch! The clips on the connectors are the biggest challenge. To remove the headlight ****, slide a small screwdriver along the shaft in the slot to release the internal spring clip.
