I have a 1968 RoadRunner (currently called DuneRunner). The dashboard is glassed to the hood and I'd like to make it removable so I can easily access the inside. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can accomplish this?

You could cut an aluminum panel the same shape as the dash and have it mounted with hidden hingesso it will flip down. Then you could cut the face of the glass dash off.

That's sort of what I did with the Sportsman, well that and I didn't want to re-glass the dash. But instead of hinges, I just used small stainless steel nuts and bolts.

You know what, I like that idea K.Jim. I think that might just work.
