It is much easier to wood grain the dash when it is out of the car. The process requires a base coat be sprayed on the dash and then the wood grain coat followed by a clear coat to seal the wood grain. All of these steps require unobstructed access to the dash. To remove your dash, disconnect the wiring from the gauges, disconnect the windshield opening mechanism, remove the trim around the windshield, remove the bolts holding the steering column to the dash, remove the 2 bolts on the bottom corners and then remove the screws by the windshield. The dash should come out. If I forgot something, you will find out when you try to remove it. It took me 1 hour to remove my 40 dash the first time, so you can see that it takes almost as long to describe the procedure as it takes to do it.

I just recently had my 38's dash and window garnish moldings done by a gentleman who lives in Titusville, Pa. He has 30 years experience, advertises at Hershey every year and did a super job for a very reasonable rate and I shopped around. I first went to his shop and observed his work - impressive. His # is 814-827-1782 (Bill) Hope this helps.
