1986 Foxbody Mustang Dash Pad Replacement

[@scott25624]

thanks man, I didn't know about the 2 behind the dash decora! I almost pulled it off w/out removing them!

[@reeshdar]

Great stuff!! Thank you!

[@josesantana3335]

Love your videos! Really helping me out with my 86 notch

[@tonyoliver2334]

Awesome! I'm ordering one from LMR next week and wondered how this would all workout. Great video

[@jodybradley7379]

Very helpful wasn’t going to tackle mine thought it would be crazy to get out. Thanks!

How do you remove the passenger front dash... above the glove compartment.. thank you

[@hansparis5860]

Victor Carrillo not really sure never touched mine. Try removing the glove box and look under the dash for mounting bolts/screws I suspect you might need to also remove the dash pad but do that last as that might not be necessary. Good luck. Cheers, Hans

That piece is held from the backside with two screws. If you remove the glovebox, you can reach up with your hand and feel where they are. Definitely not easy to remove without the whole dash taken out.

Is this the same method for a 1983 foxbody hatchback 3.2 GL?? Because that's what I have

[@hansparis5860]

Kendrick Stevenson The overall process may differ slightly but the video should keep you on the right track

[@BasinMotorsports]

Yep. Same for all 79-86 dashes.

[@coyote5.02]

Looks like there’s a center speaker in the middle of the dash. is that what that is.

[@robertb3409]

The center speaker was for the optional amp. In the early years, the base Mustang had only one dash speaker in the center.

[@coyote5.02]

@@robertb3409 was it a 5x7 or 6x8. can you use it along with the 2 3.5 inch speakers with a aftermarket radio

[@robertb3409]

@@coyote5.02 I believe it is a 5x7" speaker would fit in it's location

[@hansparis5860]

One side note, if you're changing dash speakers install the new speakers before drilling the new dash pad. Cheers.

Where did you get the Dash Panel? LMR?

[@hansparis5860]

Hi Larry, it’s been several years now since I got the dash panel from CJ Pony. Blessings, Hans

[@billjames8490]

How did you go about removing your stock radio? Mines getting hung up on the footwell duct work

[@hansparis5860]

Hi Bill, the last owner already had installed a upgraded radio when I bought the car so I only upgraded the upgrade. So I can’t help with your question, sorry. Good luck. Cheers, Hans

[@hansparis5860]

Bill I’ve been thinking about it and you might need to remove the console. My console removal video may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5PPnYp3f7Obr80 good luck. Hans

[@234dilligaf]

Did you replace any light bulbs on your dash during this time?

[@hansparis5860]

Hi Dilligaf, you know that would have been a great idea but no I did not. One of these days I'm thinking (always thinking on what I can upgrade/change/modify) of installing LED lights on the gauges and also thinking about changing the gauges to ones that I can see better during bright days (more contrast). However when I redone the interior I did install green LED lighting underneath the dash and seats and that looks real cool with the black carpeting. Thanks for your question. Blessings, Hans

[@sajspeed69]

Where did you order the dash pad from?

[@hansparis5860]

CJ Pony

[@hansparis5860]

J Filth it may be helpful to others if you posted that comment on the CJ Pony item comment.

[@reeshdar]

LMR has them as well.
