Dash removal, again

I have some wiring issues due to previous work on the car and I thought I would check the wiring behind the dash, where most of the connections seems to live.
I was thinking about sliding the dash off and flip it over so I can check for continuity and correct wiring.
Is that possible?
I disconnected the battery, then removed all the Phillips screws on the dash, the 6 bolts of the bottom pad, the steering wheel little Bridge, the speedo cable, the cable clamp that holds some wiring to the bottom of the tachometer, the heater wire at the valve.
I removed the steering wheel two shells and the turn signal switch.
The dash moves towards me about an inch, that's all.
What I am missing? Any advice.

The goal is to check and fix wiring issues for now. I'm not planning full body paint or new wiring anytime soon.

Thanks
