There should be slotted screws that retain each instrument to the back side of the panel. Once removed, Then it may take some fiddling to get the instrument loose. Especially if they have been mounted for 60 some years. Taking the seat out will help getting to the underside of the dash unless you can bend your body enough.

Thanks, I suspected that was the way, I wanted to change out the oil and gen lens" may not be worth the effort.

Trying to remove collar and dash horseshoe to enable removing the instrument cluster and dash cover of my 57 TBird. Can't seem to get past removing the first section with the horn assembly in order to remove the column and sleeve. Is there an exploded drawing with instructions for removal?
