Default How to remove guage cluster?

My dad has a z06 and wants to install a HUD. Is it easy to pull the dash apart and does anyone have any directions on how to do it? Neither of us are mechanically inclined so directions are very necessary .

Go to VetteEssentials web site and look for installation instructions for guage bezels. Takes less that 2 hours from start to beer.

Wow, thanks for the info! Now I just need to make my C5 as fast as my dad's so he won't have bragging rights
