Hey all I'm removing my dash to re-wire a bunch of stuff and I have every screw I can find removed and the dash is so close to coming out but it is hung up somewhere near the steering column alsmost like behind where the gauge cluster goes. I know there must be another screw I'm missing. Do I have to drop the steering column to get to some hidden ones I can't see or what. I've removed every screw on the top, sides, and underneath, but can't seem to find this last one. My service manual for the car is in another state so I couldn't look up anything in it. Any ideas?

According to the Ford Mustang Service Manual, dropping the steering column is one of the steps in the dash removal process.
Damn! I was hoping that was not the case, but oh well. It must be done. Thanks for looking it up for me
I dropped my steering column and removed the dash to replace the heater core. SAME thing happened to me. and i have pics to prove it. I couldnt get the whole thing out even with the steering column dropped. It was odd, but i managed to pry out the box containing the heater core without totally removing the dash. Sorry I couldn't help.

Before you start removing your steering column.
I've removed my whole dash 2 different times and neither time have I had to remove the steering column to accomplish that!

Obviously you've removed all the screws.

Well I'm doing some re-wiring. It doesn't need a heater core at the moment, but i suppose it couldn't hurt to change it while I have the dash out. I'm contemplating just ripping out all the heat/AC stuff. I ripped out the ac a long time ago and I'm in Texas so needing a heater isn't much of an issue since it won't be seeing any DD duty. I just can't decide if I want to take the heat out too. It still works really well.
I know the one you are talking about. That must be the one I'm missing cuz I definitely have not removed it yet.

+1. That one got me my first time too. It sounds like the one he's talking about.
I won't be driving it on Frosty winter days when a defroster is needed so that's not much of a concern.
1 bolt under neath the dash that holds the pedal assembly to a small meta bracket attached to the dash. Haven't taken it out yet, but that's definitely what's holding it down.
