I watched a YouTube regarding removal of speedometer from a 1956 model.  The guy claimed most efficient method was to remove the top of the dash, as there was too much in the way on the underneath,  anyone with experience?

Yeah, taking the top of the dash off is not hard.  That's the way to go.  Just don't leave it off long. The dash pad on ours shrunk while we had it off one winter...

 

How did that happen? Temperature change maybe? I had mine off for quite a while with no change in material.

The Kansas sun is pretty harsh, and plastic has a memory. I masaged it with a heat gun and a bottle of Armor All and got it pretty close to where it was, but it seriously had shrunk 2 inches sitting in the garage. Dad was convinced it would split before I got it back to where it was, but it didn't.
