I would suggest purchasing a shop manual. They explain the whole process. To take the one out of my 68 you have to remove the ashtray and reach up behind for one nut. I hate to think how long it would have taken me to find that one.

Ok, i figured out how to get the cluster out and everything. I'm putting in white gauges... but now i'm stuck again! how do you get the speedometer needle off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I figured i'd ask before i broke it, that's all i have left is to get that off and then i can finish and put the car back together again... Thanks...

Ain't it fun? BTW, how do you like the new white faces? I've been thinking about doing that.
