Dash Overhaul

I wish Chip Foose were involved, but alas, this is a solo deal. I want to remove the entire dash assembly because there are quite a few electrical problems that I think a wiring diagram could solve for me, I need to paint the metal dash black, and I need to install the new dash pad; I figure the best way to do all of this is to take the car away from the dash.

I know I will have to have the glass pulled (I'm kicking myself, it was out for a week about 8 months ago when I had it bead blasted, but I was in school) so I was curious as to whether I could pull it myself. It is new glass, so cracking shouldn't be a concern. Any other opinions on this course of action are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
