    Anyone?
    Been "Disassembling" (Hi Bobby) the interior and the speedo console seems to be stuck at the top. I plan to put in a Classic Instruments console, but I don't want to damage the original as someone may want it for an original restore project. Anyone have any input as to how to remove it without damaging the console?

    I made some plastic sticks (tonque depressors)and insert them about 1" in at the top on both sides . the top needs to come out first and it will lift right out. It just takes a little finagling(If thats a word)
    Good luck
