Ok - I'm no dummy but how the heck do you get the radio detached from the dash face? A couple of other bezels are giving me grief as well.
Any ideas?

How did you remove the ignition switch ?I have removed all other parts but this one the collar twits off but gets stuck on the key guid I see two pin holes .I just don't want to brake it any ideas ?

Again it's a dash from a 65 cutlass F85

Cool Stamps, but I'm betting these aren't the pictures you intended to post


Justin... I believe you have to insert the key and rotate it while pushing a paperclip (or something similar) through a hole in the lock. I've never done this, but destroyed the switch and instrument panel on a 1966 Toronado once... then was told I needed to use the key/paperclip method. If this doesn't work or doesn't make sense then create a new thread and one of the 1965 guru's will see it. John

Turn the key all the way left, insert paper clip about 1/8 inch and turn more left, wiggle the tumbler out, now unscrew bezel, nice stamps, good thing you wernt somewhere else

Hey Stan,

Yeah, once I got past my usual impatience I did see the set screws. Thanks for the tip.

I have had a look at those sites which are awesome. Lots of info. I tried to sign on to the forum but not only was I refused membership, they banned me! I don't think the 'Bro' likes me very much. I made a quip a few months back about how often his posts feel rather condescending and I guess that's it for me! The guy has forgotten more than I'll ever know about '64 - '65s and is a phenominal resource however it looks like I blew up that bridge.

Anyway, life is good - I think I found buyers for my Royal Mist coupe and my VC. I can soon get started on my flat top.
