Got the 5 switches removed from the dash pod, along with the wires to the 2 rheostats. Only 1 of the 5 switches gave me a fight, so not too bad. Pod is now removed. I can take it to my upholstery guy on Mon. Want to find out if he can repair it and how he does it. If he fills the cracks with body filler, I can do that myself and save a few bucks.
The tear down continues.
