Install / removing dash
« on: December 28, 2009 - 07:59:51 PM »
Can you install and/or remove the dash out of a 73 challenger with the windshield in?
Is there any other things to worry about?

Yes it can be removed with the windshield installed, just a little more challenging. There are bolts in the defroster vents that secure the dash to the body, plus the 2 bolts (one on each side) that attach the dash to the sides of the body. Is it an ac dash or non ac?

  Get you a universal swivel joint, 1/4 size, put some black tape around it with an 8 inch extention and a shallow socket and bing bang boom, they come right out

It's an AC car and the AC dash is junk. I was going to buy an AC dash from year one because of the 25% off deal. I am no where close to a finished car but I don't want to pass up the savings.

Is this the one originally priced with the 25% off the price you're inquiring on?

I would check out Nicks or Roseville on what they might be able to offer it to you for too before you buy it.
