Alright Im gonna paint the part of the dash that is around the head unit, climate controls and guages...must i take the entire dash apart for this or is there some way of getting it out without doin all that.? thanks..

Nope take it all apart it's really easy

looks like I'll be drivin my 96 cav for a few days while i get my dash all perfect thanks.

Welcome ... I took mine apart it took me a weekend to do mine

Go there and and click on J-Body Tech

Then go to AUDIO

and click on #1 - removing your Jbody Dash..


Theres 2 bolts on the left side by the drivers side

2 on the passanger's side

2 up top by the vent next to the windshield

2 on the inside trim of the glove box

and 2 brass bolts inside the glove box that can be reached via a small hole located in the box

then from there just start poppin up...after you got the whole dash off....


there are then 2 more bolts on the plastic bezel around the actual radio and a/c cluster
1 is directly above the cig. lighter closest to the ignition

and the other is on the right side midle a/c vent..

hope that helps
