pulling the dash

[tommytpk]

Hey guys, going to look at a 79 Cutlass parts car on Friday. My dash has a few cracks in it, so if this one is better, I'm going to use it. Owner says it has "one, maybe two" cracks.

What is the quick and dirty way to pull the dash out of one of these cars? What all will I need? Pulled one out of an f-body years ago.

Also, how do you repair cracks in vinyl dashes? Any good products/systems/shops that anyone knows of?
Thanks
Tom

Go on YouTube and find classic g body garage's channel. He has a good video on it. I just pulled mine this week end and wasn't to difficult.

Here's the link. It doesn't get any better than this. It's the closest thing to spoon feeding you the information....lol!!

Thanks, will check out, and saw a good thread on here, too.

Make sure you leave the wiring attached to the dash like in the video and make sure you do what he does in the video. I took mine out and left the wiring in the car and still had to take the wiring back out. Only about 8 screws holding it in there.
