    Papa - have you verified that you can remove your dash with the body on? I thought the fasteners had to be moved below the hoop so they wouldn't be covered by the body...

    I hadn't intended to make the dash removable with the body on the car, and after test fitting the body, the screws are mostly covered by the body. A removable dash is something a lot of guys have done, but it is more than just getting the dash loose. To do it right, you need to plan for a few modifications in the wiring to make it easy to unplug everything.

    That's cool, thanks. My shell is stored about 15 miles from where I'm working on the chassis, so don't have an easy way to take those measurements. Greatly appreciate the intel. I do plan to add connectors for all the dash connections.
