Well, I'm in the process of dismantling one of my parts car and I've decided to document the steps used to remove the dash top.
I began removing the top dash pad by removing the instrument cluster. If you haven't removed the steering wheel and knee pad, do that now. Next, remove the 4 screws that hold the cluster to the dash. Now, just pull the cluster forward, without removing the electrical connections. I have removed the cluster completely from the car because I'm stripping it. You don't have to do this to remove the dash top. This post has been edited by watsonrx13: Dec 14 2005, 08:08 PM Attached image(s)

Next I removed the ashtray. This isn't necessary, but since I'm stripping the car I just wanted it out of the way. I also removed the radio.
