1952 Dash Out?

How does this come out to work on the wiring/gages? No screws show from the front. I am a big guy 6'2" and have done everything I can to try to get my head under the dash to see except for taking out the seat.

You have to remove it from behind the dash. There are 3 nuts you have to remove from the back. I use a 5/16" nut driver, works great. You then can push the cluster back from the dash. You have to do it by "feel". No room even for me, I'm only 5'7" tall.
