What's the worst Job you ever did on your vette?

Nope...just the screws in the defrogger vent, and the screws across the front of the dash cluster, map pocket, and center stack(wiper switch/vent/ gauges). You'll need to remove both side pillar trim pieces, too, but those only have one screw in them, and plastic velcro.
Once all the screws for the upper dash pad are out, and the pillar trim, push up in the center of the dash pad....you'll have to "bow" it up some, since it fits behind the pillar posts. It's really not that hard, unless your upper dash pad is in bad shape, and brittle....if that is the case, you'll wind up spewing a few bad werds if it breaks.

I've had mine out plenty of times with no problems, as well as a few other cars.

Thanks Joel.  I'll give it a shot, maybe tomorrow...  I still can't get my headlights to work, even with every single component replaced (except the light switch).  So it'll be a good opportunity to run that down as well.

The horn and the wipers.  Still don't work although the horn did start blaring while we were replacing the brakes. Haven't heard them since.

I've got a replacement vacuum hose set to put on for the wipers.  I'd rather do anything else -- so I do.

Yup, this!!!

Replace the brake booster. When you reconnect to the brake pedal arm.... Crap...you can burn hours and invent a few new words! And making the plastic Velcro work. I don't think I have any of it working. But I tried...and tried...and gave up.

I have experienced many of the horror stories I read above including dash work, rear brakes, etc., but my worst job was replacing the rear hub, seals and bearings. Not too bad going back together but getting them out was a bear.

Dave reminded me of Effingham  where about ten of us (including you Joel) climbed under the dash of, (if I remember right Bobbiesvet), trying to get the clip on the pedal shaft, and the booster. Now that sucked!! Barb finally gave it a shot and got-er-done. 

  YUP! I was under that dash as well. Not a fun time, but it was accomplished in time to travel.   Did one in my garage for another friend. Did my own also. Not a job to look forward to. The BEST way I found is to unscrew linkage from the pedal clevis and not take the clip off. Much easier and less cramping of the fingers.

Yup...I sure do. It wasn't Barb's car, tho...it was Jeff's, I think. Lot'sa fun, that one! NOT!

Ah...so true, but...if ya remember, the issue on this particular car was that the pushrod to clevis threads were screwed up.....we needed to remove the clevis to be able to see that.
Slinky widdle Barb was able to squeeze in there and get that dadgum clip back in place.
