vetnat sorry I dont. Lots of pinch welds need to be drilled out around lower windshield section. 1st thing do do is drill out all pinch welds from inner side pieces as shown on pic. 2nd pry out side sections of dash and cut down. I bought pinch weld drill bits from Harbor Freight and gently drill out all the pinch welds on lower windshield section.. Remove 2 side bolts and 2 bolts under steering column section. After drilling out pinch welds i used a spot weld chisel (similar to the pic) I bought from Cornwell Tools and gently separated the dash. Hope this helps.
