Episode 84 1967 1968 Mustang Cougar Dash Pad Autorestomod 

Thanks Joe! We appreciate the kind words. usually the holes will be in the middle of the raised section. But yeah, it is kind of an "eyeball" thing. We didn't want to cut slits in the pad so we used a hole punch. Make the holes about the diameter of a pencil.

The tip about heating up an old clip to fix the mounting points on the A pillar pads was golden. Thanks so much for that! I could have done without the millennial storyline, but there's good info here. My dash pad install went smoothly after watching this and applying the lessons learned.

You can use it on the facing where the screws go in but we find that it really dosen't seem to be needed.

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your time and talent. This video was helpful.

Great tip Bill! We had a Magnetizer around here...but where it got to, I don't know.

I have found that taking my long handled screwdriver and placing it on a magnet (those nifty magnetic parts trays work wonderfully) for a while and let it magnetize. This will help hold that trim screw in place while you hunt for the threads in the dash. Great series, I watch em all!

Thanks! It already does.

Why does mine have 2 Vin tags this one doesn't

Thanks! This video helped me out!

Good work guys!

I'm restoring my 68 fastback right now. I do not have the front windsheild in yet. Is it OK to do dash pad right now or will that make windsheild install difficult? Seems like now is the time to do the dashpad.

This was a great how to on the dash pad. They have always been a pain for me to install. :-)

I currently have my windshield out because I got a new paint job. I’m assuming it would be much easier installing the dash pad now but will that make the windshield install harder? Which should go in first?

Great video series, very helpful! I'm going for "Take 2" on my 67 dash pad replacement....this time I'm going to be more patient and get it right :) One question: for the windshield trim screw holes, do you slit the pad or punch holes in it? I heard you say, " ...we've got all our holes drilled", but was curious how you determined how far from the front edge of the pad to punch the holes...just eyeball it? Thanks again, keep up the great work!! Joe

Maybe try to do it with the windshield out?

I would grab that cell phone and take a hammer to it

Thanks, for the quick response! As always look forward to your videos.

Hope your foot feels better soon man.

maybe the better way to install the dash is prior the windshield install ?? No ??

Perfect, thanks!! :)

Btw, your videos are very informative and quite helpful! I noticed you did not use any trim adhesive, I'm assuming not necessary?

Should have used a MTF dash pad 👍
