Glovebox door; installed all the hardware, freed up the latch. Fit the dash pads to see how it would look

Heat index this afternoon hit 103, so where was I? In the garage. Printed a template to use for guiding the cut and trimmed a hole in an old broken bezel as a test. Fit the control panel prototype. I really like how it has come out. Next step is to work up the courage to cut the new...

Same guy that did the finish prep and paint on my car, so he is pretty good at this stuff.

Added AC vents to the dash. Had the paint and body guy do some work on the dash frame and paint it. Will need to trim the pad a little for clearance, will be getting the pads redone also. Side view of driver side vent without pad Need to widen the “ashtray” opening on the pad slightly...

How does the application work? Do you have to send pictures and details?

what I am working on the past few days. Final product would be polished aluminum and either paint or powder for the argent and black painted areas. Here is the CAD drawing of the AC control panel: Here is the 3D printed plastic prototype, painted with markers, sitting in front of the dash...

Love, absolutely love the color. And the newspaper box is awesome!

You want the engine oil temperature to come up quickly, the advantage to using a cooler in the radiator is that your engine thermostat will help that along. I am plumbing an external air cooled oil cooler on my car but it has a 205F thermostat that bypasses 90% of the flow when the temperature...

Does it come with a spacer to put the filter down lower also?

'67 had VIN on pillar, '69 on dash frame; so maybe they swapped the dash itself.

That looks like a '69 dash frame. And those look like '69 fenders? The damage you are referring to, is it just the header panel and radiator support? Does it look like the inner fenders have been replaced?

I remember sitting inside my engine bay working on my '58 Apache 235 six. Yeah... not a V8 A-body thing, much less 440 or the 426 for sure.

What does that one look like, curious. I assume you will adapt the console or build one for it. I have a 2005 1500 with an Ecodiesel and the 8 speed auto. It has the rotary knob shifter with the +/- buttons on the steering wheel. I like the idea of the shifter, but would have been cool with...

all you need now is paddle shifters! just a $550 option…
