Those are the girls I date. Manly girl, what will they snort about you tonight?? Snort about it when they crawl back in their coffins. Your address is so they can fly over??

Heard you northerners call crawfish "bait".
An enjoyable delicacy down here.
Suck the heads to get a spicy surprise......

Ok, now I understand...

With that said, this last part is where I personally think the idea falls apart...

Look at how the factory installs a dash (through the windshield) versus how you have to do it after the fact.

Invasive as hell if you ask me, anytime I've had to pull a dash on previous vehicles, I've seriously considered selling the vehicle instead.

But I think you're right, it IS possible, just not at the price Delta in parts.

Might it not be cheaper to have Safelite (or some other mobile auto glass company) meet you at the dealer and remove the windshield, then replace it when dash is swapped, as opposed to paying dealer labor rates to have dash removed/swapped via the doorway?

Just a thought...

After I saw the factory Challenger production video, I've had that thought that if I ever have to pull the dash, that it might be a good way to go.

Some of the wire harness connections are a mother * to disconnect though, I get the impression that they are a one time deal. (From my old Ram)

Wonderful! What the hell kind of engineering is this?

Well.... I was able to get most of the scarring out of that nasty dash. I can probably live with it. lol If I have to. I'll just never look over on that side of the car.

I can’t believe you put that steel in there without wrapping the end or protecting your dash and console top? It is easy to have an accident even if you are trying to be careful. Just saying...

No supplies handy for such wrapping (this is some 45 miles away). And never needed before - only the fact that the employee would not wait at the site when I said, "Wait, let me get the end" resulted in the ruckus. I know the guy was eager to help, but damn. It's all about quality employees with some inteligence. You should see my newest dump trailer.
