Has anyone removed the dash to fit dynamat or something in there? I did the trunk and side panels a few years ago, but I'm noticing some sqeaks develop near the front. Just wondering if it is a major pita to take the front apart. The door panels/rear/trunk was pretty simple but the dash doesn't look fun.

Anybody have any pictures of a project they did :D
 
Ahh cool, thanks for the help. I'll post what buddy said here in case anyone else wanted to know.

me again...I just took my dash out of the car, its no fun. I started by removing the center console, shifter bezel, and the trim around the a/c controls etc. Then you have to take off the kick panels, the defogger panel on top of the dash (pops out of place), the glove box, lower the steering column, take out the instrument panel, disconnect the a/c controls. I was replacing the heater core so I disconnected that housing from all mounting points too. There are 3 bolts under the defogger panel, either 8mm or 10mm, two on the right side of the dash (one at the bottom, and one behind the air vent, also 8mm or 10mm), 4 bolts for the steering column and an electrical plug that will give you more movement after disconnecting it, and a large nut on the left of the dash at the bottom. then, at the bottom on the center section where the dash mounts to where the shifter is (on my 96 gt auto) There were three hidden ground wire connections, 6 (8mm or 10mm) bolts (three on either side of the console). Think that is pretty much it. Just be careful when undoing things, its kind of heavy and will drop down pretty quick. Also, just make sure you disconnect all the houses and wires before yanking on the dash. hope this helps a little, still working on the paint prices for you too.
