Title: Class C doghouse removal?
Post by: justdon57 on August 06, 2013, 01:45 AM
Good Morning, is there an easy way to remove the doghouse on my 1985 Chevrolet Minnie Winnie Class C ? I have tried with no success, also appears that part of the dash needs to be removed? thanks!

The kid in me says, THERMITE, but the adult in me says, DET Cord..

All kidding aside, the removal should not involve removing the dash.  From what I remember seeing at the junkyard, there are a few bolts to be removed and that should do it.

Assuming it is a G30 chassis, appears to be a couple of bolts (floor) and a couple of clips on sides is all

Edit: Let me guess, you are trying to figure out how to remove all that plastic that is covering the actual engine cover right?
