67 ply belevedre dash removal

[67MPRFAN]

Hello are, do you have to remove the windshield to get the dash out, or can it be done without,
I need to do some wiring under the dash,
Just thinking it might easier on a bench vs on my back

Pull the glass.

There is a member here that has done it without pulling the glass.

I can't imagine it's real fun doing it that way, though.

Not the best plan of attack when you add up the time involved.

I like to leave the seat in so you can sit on it. Remove steering column and instrument cluster and you will have room to work on the wiring. The cluster needs to roll out and down so the column is in the way of that, and hard on the plastic cluster bezel.

I replaced the dash harness on my 67 a/c car with the dash in the car because I didn't want to pull the windshield. It is a PITA but can be done. Most of it can be done through the instrument cluster and glove box openings. I would probably do the same way if I had to do it again, except I'd remove the front seats and console as I'm getting too old to twist my body like I used to.

Great way to do it!
I just dropped the column, didn’t take it out.

Yes the column drop on the seat works good depending on what the fix is, the experience of the worker, and the size of the person working.
