Wink Can anyone who's taken appart the dash walk me through it?

I'm about to start the process of taking apart the whole dash myself, and I'm looking to PM some one or call them to discuss the process of doing it. I'm talking about the silver trim, area under the steering wheel the gauge cluster and the dash board. Pretty much the whole front of the car is coming apart and I'm doing the work.

The good part about the forum is we have people that are smart enough to have done this.

I'll mention my appreciation in advance.

i don't know if it will help any more than the above link, but check this tacobill tutorial (follow it till it talks about removing the a-pillar trim) https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...ll-w-pics.html

Ok What do I do when I'm at this point (not my car)?



I need to remove the dash board. itself as my greatest problem now (my car):




I need to get this by tomorrow otherwise I'll have to wait until next Friday..

I think you might have to remove the whole front of the interior to do this it's really hard to tell. I've got all day to work on it.

I've had the instructions open for the past few hours. From what I understand I need to remove the WHOLE dash frame all at once, and it comes out as an entire piece. Right?
