We got pretty crazy the last couple of days. Subframe is in, wiring is almost totally stripped. Dash out, and sat the new one in for a look.
The dash process is not easy. There are a lot of small hidden bolts everywhere. We had to remove the front of the cage to let it out. There was a whole lot of weight in all the parts under the dash. I believe LUPE has gone through weights and removal of all of them, so look up his thread for the exacts.

We sat the new one in to see how it would look. I think it is an improvement, but the re-wiring is going to be crazy.
