Oh my goodness. Let us know how many extra screws you wind up with J/K

What are you having done that requires such dismantling? I guess it's some crazy audio/video stuff...

Good luck with everything I'm sure it's gonna be a sick setup.

the dash is out to mount a 5.25" center channel inside it...
the video install is pretty non invasive...the PS2 is going in the rear arm rest and the rest will be in the trunk...
should be done in a month...
I'll keep you guys posted as we progress...

I am getting the car back just for the meet....my system might not be finished, but I'll have the car for the meet on Sunday November the 25th

the interior should be complete, but the trunk will not likely be done yet...

I know this may not be a productive idea, but I've always fantasized about it. A co-worker of mine has a 2000 corvette convertible and mounted inside the dash was a HUD projector. If I were to ever do what you are doing now (which is never, thats why its only a fantasy) I would try and figure out some way to add a built in HUD projector into the dash rather than a center speaker (or both if it can fit). Anyways, good luck with the project.
