My budget kind of requires that I have "great ideas", which is why this forum is so great. :D I see all kinds of great ideas on here all the time, like goldduster318's Contour fan install. Sure, it was a little labor and fitting, but I only have a little over $250 into the whole thing. It's great to be able to re-task OE parts that I can find in the junkyard or at the local parts place for a fraction of the cost of some fancy aftermarket piece.
The dash was just a lot of time, and a little legwork getting Detriot Muscle Technologies to make the lower rallye dash overlays. Makes the whole dash restoration process A LOT easier.
