Bill

You have to lower the steering column to get the dash out.
But you can remove the windshield without removing the dash, it jusy 
more of a PITA but do-able. Swivel socket helps.

The frame comes apart with some real short (usually corroded) screws.
If they start to give you a headache, stick an old philips screwdriver 
in the slot of the screw and heat the shaft of the screwdriver with a 
torch. A torch on the aluminum frame *may* mare or melt it. Be carefull.
Liquid wrench the day before helps too.
