Hi again, thanks everyone for the input. So to clarify, are you saying that the dash wood trim strips can only be removed with the entire dash removed? There's got to be a better way!!! (?)

I understand the part about removing the door wood trim - the door panels will have to be removed and the wood unscrewed from behind. That's pretty easy - about 15 to 20 min. for panel removal on each door.

But the dash - come on, are you kidding me??? Say it isn't so!!!
