:I was curious as to how the whole dash assembly is "put" into a maverick? it almost looks to me like it was welded in but i'm not really sure. i'd also like to be able to take the dash out and either custom make one or retrofit something else up. again thanks

Jason... the dash bolts in. Has a row of bolts underneath at the top of the firewall, one or two (I can't remember) on each end of the dash that are a bear to get to, and finally the last bolts holding the dash in are UNDER THE WINDSHIELD RUBBER. Yep, you have to remove the windshield to get to them. I've done this on my "parts car", so I was able to be a bit more violent than I would with my driver (i.e. busted windshield, mangled chrome trim all over the place). I'm swapping in a factory a/c dash, but to be honest I just haven't done it yet because I dread it so bad. But that's just me. Hope this helps.
