Dash pad removal (knee pads below steering/around AC vents) '68 Charger

[DodgyDodge]

I'd like to remove all the dash pads on my charger and repaint them, but I can't figure out how to pop them loose. I'm referring to the knee pads below the steering wheel and under the AC dash openings, below the radio and glove box. Any help and/or photos would be appreciated.

They don't pop off! They have pal nuts that have to be removed.

yup little speed nuts you have to contort under there and find them all and if you have big paws like mine scratch and skin up the back of your hands

Oh and welcome to the forum:headbang:

If you happen to be removing and restoring the instrument cluster at the same time, do it first. The pads are far easier to remove with that out of the way.
