Got a chance to work on the Barracuda this weekend. Got the windsheild out & the dash assembly. The windsheild was not so bad. The dash took ver an hour & I tried to take it out with all the wires still attached the the gauges & switches. Have been watching several other post on this board & others & have seen a few guys do this. Look like the way to go. Well on this car there must be a better way. I thought I had everything loose & would start to pull the dash up & out only to find 1 more wire connected way up under in a hard to get at place. This car has A/C so it pretty compact under there. Evern the wiper motor was up in there hidden. So early A body guys feel free to clue me in on things I should have done differently. And how is the best procedure to reinstalling it all.

Next will be the HVAC box then the e-brake, wiper motor & linkage. Going to leave the steering column in for now in case I need to move the car around. It too will get rebuilt & painted.

It's coming along nicely. I took the dash out of the Challenger but have never taken the one out in my 65 Barracuda. But I will need to when I get to it so I'm taking some notes. Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming! Joe

Got a little done on the car today. My buddy came over to supervise. Got the HVAC out finaly. Shifter, wiper motor & related linkage/pivots. All in about 2 to 2 1/2 hours for those taking notes. Some of the stuff was already loose. I took some notes as well to help reinstalation & anyone else who may work on one of these cars.
