    Guys,

    I've seen on here where a couple of people have removed their dash panels for one reason or another.

    I know it requires removing the windshield, but does it require removing spot welds or do they unbolt like my F Series trucks?

    Just wondering,
    -Scott H.

    No welds, just unbolts.

    If the windshield gasket is pliable and you are VERY patient, it can be done without removing the windshield, but I have never been able to do it.

    Cool, thanks guys.

    Once I finally am able to go get my GT from Mean Maverick's house I am planning on taking it apart as much as I can. I was hoping it unbolted so I can get to the inside of the firewall easier to clean / repair / paint / insulate it.

    Thanks again,
    -Scott H.
