66 dart convertible

ok now that I have my convertible top. (not going with the black top and interior that came with the car) I have discovered that I will have to redo the tan paint scheme in the car the dash pad and the steering wheel. darn colors don't match! luckily I'm going to have to remove the dash anyway so I can use the templates I got from 65dartman and Waggin to install the factory A/C. so it'll all work out (I hope)
I'm in the middle of tearing down the A/C so I can mock up the holes and such to mkae it look "stockish" on the install.


yup all the companies that had the correct top with a brass zipper for mine only had this color (buckskin) it's more greenish than I wanted but it's the only color available with the options I wanted on the top.

here I anm taking apart the A/c side of the box so I can hold it up to the firewall and match it to the templates I got then mount the empty heater box to the a/c side for correct positioning. lotta work but I'll have AIR! eventually!:D
