I found out how to remove the dash board pad of my  1971
squareback.  The biggest lesson that I learned from this was that dash
removal is not required for speaker replacement. :-)

	To remove my dash, I had to first remove a few other bits.  I used
a screwdriver to pry off the chrome strip along the bottom of the dash.
Don't worry, there are little spring clips that pop right out.  This
exposed a number of Phillips head screws which connected the lower edge of
the dash cover to the car body.  Out with the screws.  There are also
single screws at the top left and top right corners of the dash, near the
lower corners of the windshield.  Out with these guys, too.  What?  It
won't come off yet?  Ahhh, the passenger grab-handle.  Unbolt the metal
strip that supports the glove box.  Sliding the glove box forward a bit
(Front is Front) exposed the grab handle's mounting bolts.  Off with the
handle. What's this?  Still connected?  Oh, the gauges.  Remove the gauges.
Now the dash is free.  Wasn't that simple?
