Dash Removal
Can anyone tell me if the dash on a 1838 Ford Standard Coupe is hard to remove or not. I want to get it painted along with the window frames but do not know if its bolted in and easy to remove or not.
Thanks, Max |

Re: Dash Removal
I'm not to sure on the 38 but I did do the same thing on my 46 and it all went fairly EZ. Just do your self a favor and label every wire you remove and make a note of where it go's and what it is or does. It makes putting it back together a lot EZer trust me.And also when reassembling the dash it helps to have somebody helping ya just to avoid any scratches.
It will sure look nice when its all freshly painted and put back together |

Re: Dash Removal
A tip, while you are at it paint the inside of the dash panel a light color like white...it will make seeing all the connections easier when you put it all back together...
