How do I take the carpet out?
I have already taken the carpet out of my 81 and cleaned it, but I can't get the carpet out of my 84. All I am having trouble with is the carpet under the dash, the center console is in the way. Do I need to remove the dash, and how do I do that? Wouldn't I have to remove the whole dash since it's one piece. I can't really find any screws that hold it on.
I am trying to get this done as fast as possible and it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected.

I believe the heater core is bolted to the floor or something there... there's a bunch of bolts you have to un-do to get the carpet out. I'm lazy, so all I've ever done is gotten a really sharp exacto knife back behind the dash, and cut a slit into the piece that goes under the dash. Then all you do to re-install it is tuck it back in there, use a bit of double sided tape to stick it down, and it looks factory again, as the cut is hidden by the dash anyways.

I am a pro at removing carpet from 83's, but I am glad I stumbled on this, because my current project/daily driver is an '85. I'm going to be taking this short 'cut'
