Just returned from the bone yard where I got the dash. I was told the car was going to get crush "any minute" and I had to pull the dash ASAP. Yikes!

I started at 1:05pm. I had both the dash and the heater unit (with heater core) out at 1:55pm.

Yes I was working like a madman. I had the distinct advantage that it didn't matter to anyone except me what was saved or sacrificed. There was no windshield, no seats, most of the console had already been taken out.

I did not remove the dash vents; instead I simply disconnected the tubes. I left as much in the dash unit as possible.

I cut away everything that was unnecessary but I feel that this has got to be close to a record! Whew!

To further illustrate the minimum timing, the 190E body was already in a dumpster on top of another car. I had to climb up into the dumpster. I stopped at 1:55pm because the truck was starting to pull the dumpster up on the flatbed to haul it to a crushing yard.

I scored a very good dash. No cracks, a couple of minor mars, but otherwise very good. I paid in the range of the previous post.

A dash removal isn't too bad. It is the heater core which can take a lot more time replacing.
