Cougar Dash Surgery - Clock & Speaker Install - Don't Break Stuff!

After my last video, which involved installing an upgraded stereo in my classic 1968 Mercury Cougar, I was bummed out that my "new-a-few-years-ago" dash speaker was already blown. I knew it would be a big job to replace it, so I needed at least one other good reason to take the whole dash apart. That's when I remembered I had a rebuilt quartz clock to install! So, out came the tools, and out came the dash. Getting to the clock and the speaker means removing the dash face pad (on a base model, non-XR-7 Cougar at least), the gauge cluster, the ashtray, the radio, the glovebox, and the plastic dash bezels. Many of these things are fragile and nearly irreplaceable, so it's important to be careful. Note that this job is a little different on a XR-7; for that I recommend checking out West Coast Classic Cougar's video which goes further into restoring gauges, lighting, etc.:    • Dash Removal & Restoration - '68 Cougar XR-7   In the end, the surgery was successful, and I now have a working dash speaker and a perfectly-running clock! Seemingly minor things, but very satisfying to have all of that working in a car of this age.
