1972 Duster Build with my Daughter

Well well 0 for 2 today. Returned from business travel to Austin today and received my Classic Industries part for the AC and Firm Feel. The Gasket kit was missing the steel gaskets for the head and reed valve plate and Firm Feel sent the wrong power steering hose. Called Classic and they are sending the missing parts and have an email in to Firm Feel.

Before going full out on the new firewall patch I wanted to make sure the AC box fit in the car correctly. The biggest thing is would the air intake from the cowl line up and seal. They looked the same but you can be fooled. It fits perfectly but first we had to remove the cracked windshield and the dash to make it easier. I will probably weld from the inside as well to reduce the amount of grinding on the visible side under the hood.

Now that is a Tortured Dash Pad from the Az sun....
