Dash Install Part #3>>
Tonight I test fitted my dash pad to be sure I had everything Lined up. I also modified the Dash to Rear Harness to mate correctly. I still need to connect my Engine to Dash harness and re-adjust some end brackets. I am still waiting for the Driver side support Bracket and Windshield Trim.. but it is starting to look like a Dash again :D

Re: Dash Install Part #3>> (Vette92)
Since you are there already. What's the easiest way to take out the lense for the speedo, etc. What do you need to remove to get behind the lense. I have a spot of dirt on the inside of my lense I haven't been able to access and its right where the fuel gauge is so it bugs the heck out of me. I just want to be able to get a small paper towel back there with some windex without having to drop the steering column.

4 screws hold the lense to the cluster. I am not sure if the dash pad has to come out to get to the top screws.
I actually need to order a new lense, the one I have is all scratched up and want to replace it while it is apart.. I also am debating on upgrading to the 8k Tach while it is apart

Re: Dash Install Part #3>> (bill mcdonald)
Gotta question for you, Do you think there is any chance you could run a bar through the dash some how to support a full roll cage install?

Let's see:
$650 got me the Dash undercarrier, harness, console, steering column, Dash Pad, Glove Box, HVAC tubing. and a few odds and ends
$350 for a new engine harness
$50 for the pair of door panels
$50 for the dash hush panels
$150 approx for the A/C controller, cluster and headlight switch
$75 for the bezels and vents
$50 for the 7727 ECM
$150 for misc pieces I have missed
I think that is all
The Engine harness was not needed for the conversion but it is making things much easier and less to be concerned with when I turn the key
