I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a project to replace the rubber
seals around the windshield and windshield frame.  Of course, the project
scope is growing like Topsy, now including new windshield glass and dash
top pad.

I found the Tim Raymond videos on Youtube about these jobs, good info.  He
was doing a full restoration, so his dashboard was out.  Is this necessary,
or can you just disconnect some stuff and pull the dash out far enough to
access enough of the pad bottom?

 Hi Stu -=C2=A0I replaced my dash pad, etc..=C2=A0 I replaced my dash board=
 at the same time as the pad, so I'm not sure what you want to do can be do=
ne.=C2=A0 If you want to do this (and there is good reason for your plan), =
you most likely will have to pull your steering wheel and shaft.=C2=A0 The =
reason is that you want the dash board hanging down, and the presence of th=
e steering shaft will prevent this.
One important thing about replacing the dash pad!=C2=A0 In my experience th=
e pads from Sunbeam Specialties do not fit properly!=C2=A0 The right edge o=
f the pad is about 1/2 inch too long, and needs to be modified to fit prope=
rly, preferably before installation.=C2=A0 I never got mine quite right sin=
ce I didn't notice it until the dash was installed.=C2=A0 =C2=A0I mentioned=
 this to Rick and he totally denied it, but there are several references on=
 line about this problem, so I don't think I am the first.
Good luck with your project.
- Randy
