I have the same question. How do I remove the old floor panels from the
cross member?
BTW, I have a 3 syncro 4 speed if you need one.
I am also looking for '67 dash parts to convert a 68-74 BMH body shell
to a '67 dash. I could use a '67 body shell -- condition is not
important -- could be trash. I need the sheet metal in and around the
dash.
